SEC document on Federal Pacific Electric improper practicesFederal Pacific Electric (FPE) Panels, Securities and Exchange Commission SEC public report documents history of improper practices at Federal Pacific Electric

This article describes and provides copies of public records documenting a history of fraud and improper practices involving Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok® circuit breakers & electrical panels. .

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.
