Hmm, will alert my parents of this. Dad redid the wiring in the whole house and had the whole breaker box replaced about a year ago.
Thanks for the heads-up, reno.

Square-D is a quality electrical component line. I have spec'd them on several projects, as they make great stuff. I'm not surprised that someone would try to sell counterfeit stuff with their label on it, as it is a good brand.
Boy, these chinese manufacturing stories just get better and better, don't they? My new warning label: 'Made in China' ![]()
