The just-released 2008 Profile of the Electrical Contractor survey by ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR magazine showed a dramatic increase in electrical contractors’ concern about counterfeit electrical products. The rise is so significant that the magazine will be sponsoring a special panel discussion on counterfeit electrical products at the NECA Convention and Trade Show, Oct. 7, in Chicago. The special one-hour session on Counterfeit Products: Can You Be Sued? will feature panelists from across the electrical construction industry, including product manufacturers, distributors, contractors, as well as a legal expert in the liability issues counterfeit products pose for all. A question-and-answer session will follow the presentations.
