I do not think the author knows what “inflammable” means.

If they have short circuiting failures then inflammable is probably the right word.

Oddly, I think it’s the same thing as ‘flammable’. Isn’t the English language wonderful!

Either it flams, or it doesn’t flam...

Inflammable was used in the early days of caution signs to mean able to be inflamed or combustible, with the predictable confusion. They resolved it to either flammable or non-flammable. It could be a Brit holdover maybe, or someone who’s been asleep since the 1930’s or so.
