[QUOTE="Chaparral, post: 3689494, member: 49817"] Do not know if this is only a me problem or not but here we go: had an issue with one of our power circuits. Shut off the breaker, took off the cover nothing. Started tracing other plugs on the circuit and found a very bad plug. The plastic had separated, broken, and all the metal bits were free floating. A good portion of my house has white face yellow back Hubble 15 amp 125 volt tamper resistant plugs. In a very inconspicuous location in a light stamp it says China. Maybe 10% to 15% of these are in the same or close to it condition. Do not know or care if an electrician or helper damaged them or not. The Leviton plugs all look good. currently replacing all Hubble plugs. Thankful we had no fire. Did have on plug which had started to smolder. [/QUOTE]
