Investigation Summary
A sales associate was vacuuming the carpeting of a general office area. He was using a Panasonic Quickdraw vacuum cleaner (Model No. M65995, Serial No. DD4332533) to perform this task. The 9-ampere vacuum cleaner was plugged into a 120-volt, 15-ampere receptacle outlet. A ground fault in the unit's switch energized the metal handle and electrocuted the employee.
