Since safety is a huge issue in my house, I was intrigued when I was contacted about a new style of outlet plug, called SafetyCaps. If you have been to the safety aisle of any baby store you will see that the variety of different styles of outlet plug are a bit on the slim side, and yet most of them have a similar design that can slide right on through.Well, George from SafetyCaps; whose daughter choked on an outlet plug once after he removed it to use the vacuum, has thought of a new way to make outlet plugs safer, just in case those little hands get a hold of them. His inspiration came from his daughter's pacifier, and the two little ventilation holes. After doing some research George found the requirements for those holes in pacifiers and applied them to his SafetyCaps. The plugs measure 2 1/2" across allowing them to pass the SPTF, Small Parts Test Fixture, test utilized by the CPSC, United States Consumer Product Saftey Commission.
These nifty little safety plugs are Made in the USA, Vermont specifically and ca
n be seen at hospitals and other locations all over the US; like the Ritz-Carlton and the Four Seasons. SafetyCaps says, "If they can't fit into the mouth, they can't choke on it. It's that simple." Sounds like an easy decision to make as a parent.SafetyCaps are competively priced and come in packs of 12 for $3.29. When you go to the SafetyCaps website you will see the order information in the lower left corner of the home page where it says "On Sale Now", Buy 36 Caps, Get 12 FREE.
If you don't see them in your store, be sure to ask about SafetyCaps.
