Problems with 'flashing' sockets!

[tom-the-sparky]

Hi Everybody,

Has anyone encountered 'flashing' sockets before? A client has a problem with plug in appliances in that when the socket outlet switch has been turned off, and the item removed an electrical spark/arc occurs?

Any ideas about this oh wise ones?

Thanks
