OutletGuard debuts variety pack
Socket protectors solve an essential problem but leave all those other household wall outlets exposed. OutletGuard offers a new product designed to provide an easy way for parents to cover coaxial connections, ethernet jacks and USB outlets. This snap-on, patented product is now available at myOutletGuard.com.
For OutletGuard Solutions founder Ryan Ames, his new company's flagship invention was born out of a brief but terrifying moment at home. His baby son was playing and fell back against the wall, grazing his head on an exposed coaxial stud. Had he hit the wall with more force, what turned out to be a bruise could have been a major injury. When Ames went to the hardware store for a solution, he soon realized the baby-proofing section had electrical outlet protectors, cabinet door locks, and childproof door handles, but nothing to protect curious kids from cuts, scuffs and shocks around all those other wall outlets in his modern home. Ames also noticed that many of the unused outlets in his own house were filled with dust and pet dander. This discovery set into motion his quest to fill a void in the baby-proofing industry.
"Like most parents, I'm constantly on the lookout for simple life hacks to keep my kids safe," said Ames. "For a couple of bucks, it's now super easy to protect kids from injuries and mild shocks, while protecting sensitive data outlets from dirt, grime and pet dander."
