Do not normalize warning signs
A problem that keeps returning deserves assessment.
Remove damaged portable products from use
Follow manufacturer and recall guidance rather than taping or modifying damaged equipment.
Avoid DIY diagnosis of fixed wiring
Panels, receptacles and building wiring should be handled by qualified electrical professionals.
Check recalls
Some electrical products are subject to official recalls or safety warnings.
General prevention information only. In an active emergency, follow local emergency services and official instructions. Do not attempt electrical, structural, fire-suppression, hazardous-chemical or other safety-critical work without appropriate professional competence.
