Common Items Children Put in Outlets
Children are curious by nature and do not understand how dangerous it is to play with electrical outlets. The holes in these outlets can appear similar to the types of toys they like to play with. We have all heard stories about kids jamming objects in outlets and getting shocked. Children have attempted to insert all kinds of things into electrical outlets, including the following:
- Keys
- Tools
- Plugs
- Hairpins
- Belt buckles
- Jewelry
- Staples and paperclips
- Nail files
- Knives
- And more
Updating Your Home With Child-Proof Outlets
Mr. Electric of Garland is here to help you keep your children safe by installing protective child-proof electrical outlets. If you’re worried about your child-proof outlet costs, there’s no need to panic. Most updates only cost a few dollars per outlet, and they aren’t much more expensive than traditional electrical outlets. This simple home update can bring your building up to code while making your household much safer. Childproof outlets are required in all new homes built since 2008. If your home does not already have them or they have become damaged, our team is here to help. If you do not have child-proof outlets, your children could be at risk of the following types of injuries:
- Electrical burns – As the most common injury from electrical outlets, electrical burns make up 95% of them. Children have thin skin that doesn’t provide much protection from electrical flow or heat, increasing their risk for severe injuries.
- Electrical shocks – Seven children get injured from electrical shocks every day by inserting various items into electrical outlets.
- Serious or fatal injuries – Some electrical injuries can be severe or even fatal. There’s no reason to risk death or emergency room visits, especially when children are involved.

Highly recommended! Installed my Tesla Charger and it was a difficult project with my breaker box in the basement but it was no issue at all.
