Hello John,



In my 30+ years in the field, I have never heard of a single case 

where there was any issue even remotely related to electrical hazard, 

due to the clip, or any other part of the TLD holder and associated 

components. This includes both various Harshaw and Panasonic 

products. 



The concern is base-less, and appears to be simply a "what if." The 

facts don't support the concern to any degree.



Regards,



Sandy
