Recall of the week: "how-to" electrical book has shocking errors

This one makes the dumber than dirt blog category: From the CPSC:
Faulty Instructions Prompt Recall of Electrical Wiring How-to-Books by The Taunton Press; Shock Hazard to Consumers

Hazard: The books contain several errors in the technical diagrams that could lead consumers to incorrectly install or repair electrical wiring, posing an electrical shock hazard to consumers.
You don't have to make this stuff up. It writes itself.
