The risk of my home catching on fire each year due to any electrical issue is 0.04%. The risk of me dying or being injured due to such an issue is 0.00004%. That includes not just home electronics but every possible wiring and electrical insanity.

For comparison, my risk of getting into a car accident is north of 1% and the risk of dying in a car accident is around 0.02%.

So in other words compared to all the other risks out there home electronics are very safe.
