Best Electrical Outlet Safety Covers 2016

According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI), nearly 7 children are treated in hospital each day for burns or electrical shock due to them fiddling with a wall outlet.

Children seem to be drawn to electric outlets and they just love sticking objects like keys and coins inside the outlet.
