The Invention of SafetyPlugs
One day when George decided to vacuum the kitchen so he removed a standard sized outlet safety plug and set it on the table. Somehow, his two year old daughter got the plug, put it into her mouth, and began choking. He was able to get it out in time, but the harrowing experience stuck with him.
He began questioning the size and shape of these so called 'safety' plugs.
"Why are they so small? I bought these plugs to protect my daughter from electrical outlets yet they themselves are extremely dangerous choking hazard?"
He tried to convince a few of the plug manufacturers to change their design and make them safe, but his pleas were brushed aside and totally ignored.
He realized the only way to make them safer was to do it himself. After months of brainstorming, it finally dawned on him to shape them like the pacifiers' shield. Ventilation holes and a wider shield was suddenly the obvious answer.
So he spent over a year developing the safest outlet safety plug on the market.
"The day I received my first sample, that made me cry. My children would be safe, and now so can yours."
