the UPSHOT - No Tug Plug, safety device for electrical outlets - Brief Article - Product Announcement

GoodLetter, Feb 7, 2002

Child safety is undeniably a good thing. But when you realize that in the US alone, more than 2000 children go to the hospital every year to be treated for injuries they've received because of electrical outlets, it's clear that we're not being careful enough.

Steve McClurg of Innovative Safety Technologies says his company felt six electrical outlet-related child deaths per year were more than enough to inspire them to create what they call the "No Tug Plug." In addition to decreasing fire danger (it's better than a smoke detector because it prevents fires), the No Tug Plug makes it impossible for small children to pull electrical plugs from sockets. The simple, easy-to-use design of the No Tug Plug renders a standard electrical outlet virtually harmless.
