HOM24M100C load center with QOM100VH main breaker is a potential shock hazard.......I have seen two of these in two days that have a defective main breaker. With the main in the off position, one load side leg REMAINS ENERGIZED!!!!! This is a 24 slot mainbreaker panel that retails for around $91.00 at Home Depot. This main is also used in their 20 slot value pack. I don't know how many other Square D panels utilize this breaker. The breaker in question has an "E" in large bold type at the top of the label, and the number 62 in a box next to where it says "QOM1". If any of you guys have recently installed any Square D resi products, you may want to check these breakers. I have informed Square D, Home Depot, and CPSC of the issue. Just wanted to give a heads up. This kind of shatters the previous faith i had in SD products. I'll definately be checking this with a meter on all installs now.
