Annually,
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates hospital
emergency rooms treat over 3,900 persons for injuries associated with
electrical receptacle outlets.
Young children account for about 1/3 of those treated, usually from
inserting metal objects like keys into the outlets. Replace standard
electrical outlet covers to improve baby safety. An energy saving
insulating gasket around the perimeter of the outlet cover seals
against air leakages into and out of your home. Child Safety Outlet Cover Features:
Child restraint design: Spring-loaded sliding doors automatically keep
receptacle holes covered when not in use. This gives the cover a solid
appearance, concealing the black receptacle holes which are so inviting to
toddlers.
Remodeling function and economy: Remodeling? Cover with white, off white, ivory, red or
brown sliding panel outlet covers. This child safety outlet care cover conceals
wall outlets.
Energy efficiency: An
insulating gasket around the entire cover seals against air leakages into and
out of your home.
The Minneapolis Blower door test is used in the
