Items Children Put in Electrical Outlets
Children are curious and don’t always understand the danger of many household items and features, including electrical outlets. Mr. Electric of Central Iowa is well-versed in stories about kids jamming various objects in outlets and suffering electrical shocks. Nearly one-third of these accidents happen when children insert household items into receptacles, and 70 percent of these incidents occur when adults are present. You can find items children insert into electrical outlets throughout your house. We’ve listed several prime examples of objects children get their hands on, lead to electrical shocks and burns:
- Tools
- Keys
- Hairpins
- Plugs
- Jewelry
- Paperclips and staples
- Belt Buckles
- Knives
- Nail files
