    HOT NEW PRODUCTS - Editor's Choice
    GFCI Protected Industrial Cord Reels
    MILFORD, CT: Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems is pleased to announce the availability of our newest addition to the Industrial Cord Reel offering, GFCI Protected 15A and 20A reels. Hubbell WDK has taken a leadership position by developing the first GFCI cord reel that is compliant with UL 355, Standard for Cord Reels. In many installations, specifying engineers call for cord reels to be GFCI protected. In the past there were only two ways to achieve this, either by mounting a GFCI receptacle in the facility ceiling outlet box, which would be virtually impossible to access in the event of a fault, or to put a GFCI receptacle in the portable outlet box hanging from the reel. The problem with this solution is that if the neutral were to be cut on the cable feeding the outlet box, there still may be power present but the GFCI would not function as desired. Hubbell actively petitioned UL to evaluate this potentially dangerous condition and lead UL to revise the standard. --- Hubbell Inc.

    INDUSTRY TRENDS
    Litigation in Manufacturing
    A study by the law firm Fulbright & Jaworski LLP on manufacturing industry disputes found that 75% of manufacturing companies faced at least one new lawsuit last year, with 53% facing 6 or more new suits in the past year. And 25% of the manufacturing companies surveyed reported facing at least one $20 million action. Litigation has obviously become a major line item in manufacturing company budgets. Nearly a quarter (26%) of the manufacturing firms reporting in the Fulbright study said that they spent at least $5 million on litigation, excluding costs of settlements and judgments, while 51% reported spending over $1 million per year on business disputes.
