“I normally refuse to join in campaigns but this seemed so important, and the ‘safety’ covers so absurd and dangerous, that I agreed”

”Luca and the Plug Socket” shows just how easy
it can be for a child of 11 months to remove a socket cover.
This video was posted to YouTube in July 2009.

“Joey is a socket cover ninja!” also shows how easy it is for a child to remove a socket cover. Joey’s parents have told us that he was 7 months old at the time, note how determined Joey is! Having removed the cover he puts in in his mouth, imagine what might happen if he succeeded in putting back the wet cover! The cover in this case is an American socket cover, but the underlying message of how easy covers can be to remove is equally valid.
