If you like a bargain – skip the one on electrical stuff...

If you spot an extension cord, holiday lights or a night light in the bargain bin...

...you might want to take a pass on that deal. Cheap, uncertified electrical items can be really dangerous and result in injury or fire. Be especially wary of any inexpensive power tools.

The next time you buy something electrical – check the label. Be sure it includes the manufacturer’s contact information and a UPC bar code. Items without the bar codes, branding or certification marks are often the faultiest. You’ll also want to check for spelling and grammar errors on packages - and be especially careful when buying anything electrical online.
