Safety Caps - Giveaway

Written by NellT

If you have a child, then you likely have those little outlet covers all around your house. They’re in every single outlet at eye level to a child, and often we place them even higher up just to be cautious. We think we’re doing the best for our children to protect them from being shocked. And we are.

But, did you know that your child is still at risk? With the standard sized outlet covers, your child could actually suffocate if they put one in their mouths. Think about it, how often have you removed one to vacuum only to find your child playing with it? And even if you’re super careful to make sure your child never gets his or her hands on the cap, things happen, accidents happen…all of the time.

That’s what happened to George DeCell’s little girl, Sage. Sage grabbed for the standard type of outlet cover, popped it into her mouth and nearly choked to death. Only because of her fast acting Father, George DeCell, did she survive. Because of that incident Mr. DeCell invented the SafetyCaps.

SafetyCaps are the world’s only over sized outlet plug designed to eliminate suffocation. SafetyCaps.
measure 2 ¼ inches in diameter and contain two ventilation holes. They are created to be wider than the typical outlet plug and should your child still manage to get it into their mouth, they have ventilation holes so air can still pass through their airway.

Because of his daughters near death experience George DeCell took matters into his own hands, invented a product that can save lives, and now your children will be safer because of it.

Your Chance To Win

George DeCell believes so strongly in his product, and is so passionate about saving lives, that he is giving you the chance to win two packs of his SafetyCaps. Each package contains 96 SafetyCaps, so you should most likely be able to replace every single one of the standard outlet covers in your home. The value of this prize is $48.00.

To enter just leave a comment below. This giveaway will be open until Friday, March 20th and the winner will be announced Saturday, March 21st.

Please see our site's Terms and Conditions of Use for a complete list of our contest and giveaway rules and, if you haven't already, make sure you read how to enter our giveaways and how to earn extra entries.

This giveaway is open to US and Canadian addresses and is void where prohibited.
