Reef? there may be a direct correlation to the accident and my cats ruining a pair of mine. I was too caught up in my iPhone madness and forgot to clean the litter box one day. Their revenge was a horrid, horrid, mess. What kind of flip flops, Rainbow? Reef? there may be a direct correlation to the accident and my cats ruining a pair of mine.

In theory, if the circuit is not completed, you are safe. The problem is that "ground" is everywhere. Wall AC being 120 volts 15Amp, if you are barefoot standing near a pipe, touching the "hot" side may just complete the circuit and give you a shock. The DC comment is off as well, don't ever consider touching the "hot" side of a car battery (which is DC). Again, while only 12V, the battery can delivery enough current to do serious damage. Ironically, wearing rubber flip-flop will help insulation a bit ! The “not completing the circuit” advice is dead wrong (sic) and a little right.

I pownced the product recall when I saw it the other day. http://pownce.com/markbate/notes/3530707/ So does that mean you get some kind of refund?

I hope I didn't kill my ping pong partner :p I’m so glad you didn’t get electrocuted, especially after reading Nick Dawson’s comment…my bust, what should I know?
