Transcription: 
The most common electrical hazards in a home for a baby, of course, are the outlets. This is something that’s down on their level and they’re attracted to and you want to make sure that they’re covered up so that the child cannot insert something in the outlet. We recommend using sliding outlet covers. These are designed so that when you’ve plugged something in and you remove the plug, it closes automatically. There are baby-proofing items called plugs that you would just put in your outlet, but we don’t recommend the use of those at all. You can forget to put them back on after you’re done using the outlet. People have so many more electrical appliances in their home that they use these power strips and we have power strip boxes that will cover up the power strip making it safe for your child in your home.
