Exxon Buys a Scandal - FPE - Business Week July 21 1980 p.66Exxon Buys A Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok® Panel Scandal Along With A Company
Business Week, July 21, 1980, p.66

Replacement FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers are unlikely to reduce the failure risk of this equipment. We recommend that residential FPE Stab-Lok® electrical panels be replaced entirely or the entire panel bus assembly be replaced, regardless of FPE model number or FPE year of manufacture. We do not sell circuit breakers nor any other products. 

This document provides a piece of the historical background of the Federal Pacific Stab-Lok® Electric Panel hazard. The Exxon Corporation came to own Federal Pacific, recognized the liability and issues involved, and divested itself of ownership of Federal Pacific.
