Yes, I realize they only cost $2 and I will replace it, but in principle...
I was installing a new outlet today and I heard some plastic break as I was putting the faceplate on. Seems my screw was too long for the outlet and it popped a little hole through the back.
I can't see that anything is really damaged (relating to the hot or neutral), and the only thing exposed is the ground. Any reason this should be unsafe?
Some outlets leave the back open, presumably for this reason. Why don't all?
