An outlet can be GFCI protected three ways.  It can be a GFCI outlet, it can
be hooked up to a GFCI breaker, or it can be hooked up to another GFCI
outlet on the same circuit.  The latter is usually the case when you see one
of those stickers.  Check all outlets in your kitchen and bathroom for extra
buttons and reset it.
