Petition Requesting a Ban of Steel Electricians' ``Fish Tapes'' or a Regulation Requiring Warnings and Instructions for These Products

摘要

John C. Stein has petitioned the Commission to ban, or require strict warnings and instructions for, steel electricians' fish tapes. The Commission has docketed this request as Petition CP 99-1. Consumers and electricians use fish tapes to pull electrical wiring through spaces such as the interior of walls. Steel fish tapes can cause electric shock if they contact an electrically-energized component. The Commission solicits written comments concerning the petition from all interested parties.
