Where are you getting that figure from? - David Wed, 25 Jul 2007 10:49:59 +0100 http://www.parentwonder.com/content/view/291/26/#pc_110 What a great site! You have some very valuable information that parents can use to keep their kids safe. One thought on item 37, outlet plugs. Nice site and a lot of good information. One thought on item 37, outlet plugs. A study of 37 children conducted in 1997 by the Biokinetics Research Laboratry of Temple University had the following findings: 47 percent of 4 year olds and 31 percent of 2 year olds could remove protectors with a round, flat face and two prongs. 47 persent of 4 year olds and 18 percent of 2 year olds could remove protectors with a 3/16 inch thick oval face and a tapered side 100 percent of 2 and 4 year olds could remove protectors with a 1/16 inch thick oval face and a flat side. Consumer Reports also found at least one type of plug a potential choke hazard because it fit inside a test cylinder meant to measure whether an object can get caught in a child\'s throat. At Safe Zone LLC, we recommend Child Tamper Resistent Outlets such as Mommy\'s Helper or Kidco but even then you have to be careful. Consumer Reports found that Safety First\'s Swivel Outlet Cover posed an electrocution hazard because the cover doesn\'t close off all the holes.
