Electrical hazards in the home are very common because we have outlets all over our home. And the great way to squelch the hazard of electrical outlets is by installing sliding outlet covers. So, what you do is you remove the faceplate of the existing outlet, and then you put this new faceplate on, which has a sliding cover, and it keeps your baby from being able to stick toys, tools, fingers inside the outlet sockets.
