Federal Pacific Electrical (FPE) panels are considered dangerous due to the presence of defective circuit breakers called Stab-Lok breakers. These breakers have been found to create a substantial risk of fires, as they are prone to overheating and malfunctions. There have been numerous instances of FPE panels causing fires, making them a real danger to homeowners. The breakers do not meet current safety standards, overheat easily, blow out fuses, and lack a ground wire. Therefore, it is recommended to replace Federal Pacific panels to ensure the safety of your home.
