What Are Some Common Objects Children Insert Into Outlets?
Children are inherently curious and often fail to grasp the dangers of tampering with electrical outlets. To them, the openings in these outlets might resemble the toys they are accustomed to playing with. We've all heard frightening tales about children who, in their innocence, have stuck various objects into outlets and suffered electric shocks. It's not uncommon for kids to try inserting a wide array of items into these electrical ports, such as the following:
- Plugs
- Tools
- Keys
- Jewelry
- Belt buckles
- Hairpins
- Knives
- Nail files
- Staples and paperclips
- And more
