The allegation of falsified test data came up years later in a lawsuit, and also had nothing to to do with the UL listings. UL does not depend upon the manufacturer for test results; the UL rep goes to the plant, selects the samples at random, and testing is done by UL at UL's facilities.
I have never heard about Zinsco having lost it's listing .... any links?
