Go to UL as noted above and the specific info on the CB panel, then offer $2500 less to cover the replacement of the panel. Unfortunately I had a ZINCO panel in a previous home, building inspector saw it during an inspection for some other work, and warned me about it. I had it replaced a week later.

see Replace these 4 recalled electrical panels ASAP
for information on the issue see Challenger Electrical Equipment Corp. Offers Replacement Program For 9000 GFCI Circuit Breakers | CPSC.gov for information on what seems to be free replacement of the defective product. I cannot be certain but the recall and problem seems to only apply to certain date models. Nor is it clear from the Federal Government's recall whether the remedy is a free replacement unit or a free unit and free labor. "recall specifically focused on Challenger panels with 15- and 20-ampere circuit breakers made between February and April of 1988 that have a mechanical component that can detach leading to overheating, melting, and fire." "Type HAGF-15 and type HAGF-20 circuit breakers"
