The first installment on Oct. 29 kicks off the foundation's "Zero Tolerance for Counterfeits" series about fake electrical products.
The Electrical Safety Foundation International will begin a free webinar series Oct. 29 about the dangers of counterfeit electrical products. The first one on Oct. 29 will take place from 11:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. EST and is titled "Counterfeiting: Understanding Your Risk and Liability."
