I was making a point that when one uses electrical items in ways they are not designed or recommended -one is putting their trust in God to protect them in that situation
I suppose I should have started with a disclaimer..”The point of my comment is not to detract or distract from the topic at hand, but only to point out the potential dangers…”
According to the EFSI
- Multiple power strips are pretty much essential. But despite being commonplace in the home, these little plastic gadgets can be extremely dangerous when used improperly or when they malfunction. According to the ESFI, over 3,300 home fires originate in extension cords and power strips each year, killing 50 people and injuring 270 more.

And using a multiple outlet on one’s work bench is not the same as daisy chaining -because the point of possible failure is the mechanical connection between the plug and the outlet..
but hey, I just don’t want anyone to risk losing their home and possessions
because until you’ve seen first hand what uncontrolled fire does …and have to walk into the emergency room at 4 A. M. to see family members-that because of potential burns from smoke and heat in their lungs-they immediately put into a coma and intubate…you really don’t think about what destruction a house fire can cause…
and just because your experience has been good for you, and you’ve been lucky..is no basis to expect it will be for others.
So, I am sorry that my comment did so much to offend-that was not my intent.
