        "text": "GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. It's a type of circuit breaker or outlet that can detect even small imbalances in the electrical current and quickly shut off power to prevent electrical shock. In bathrooms, where water and electricity are in close proximity, GFCIs are crucial for safety. Electrical codes mandate GFCI protection for all bathroom receptacles to protect against severe or fatal electrical shocks.",
