Electrical DIY Books Recalled

[Redoverfarm]

Oxmoor House on Friday recalled nearly 1 million home improvement books because of errors that could lead do-it-yourselfers to make risky mistakes while installing or repairing their electrical wiring.

The errors in technical diagrams and wiring instructions could cause people to be shocked or create a fire hazard.

Wow, I'm shocked....

Seems this same problem came up with DIY electric books a couple years ago.
