Edward, that post is known as a Link Dump.
Post a small description of the link or a mod will probably close your thread.

NBC investigative unit is showing the hazards of the FPE panels. I think this will prove to the homeowners that the threat is real.

Educate the public! :thumbsup:
Am I wrong or did FPE lose their UL rating back in the early 80's?
I thought most of the existing FPE replacements would have been done by now.
Some of the houses in that video don't look that old. Were there FPE installed in them after they were banned?
What am I missing?

Same here. I don't comdemn them or recommend them, just simply tell them to check out some of the information that is out there and make their own decision, most usually decide they don't want to take any chances and have it replaced.

You are missing a lot.
FPE lost the UL listing on a very specific number of breaker sizes, for a relatively short time frame. They never had a UL issue with their panels or the general 15 & 20 1P breakers, nor their general industrial products.
Except for a few localities, I am not aware of there ever being a 'ban' on FPE.
