Abstract
A safety cap for an electrical outlet having an adhesive section can be attached to a standard outlet cover. The adhesive section connects the electrical outlet safety cover to the electrical outlet. The safety cap includes prongs made of a non-electrically conductive material shaped to fit into the electrical outlet. The bendable section rotates the prongs from a position outside the electrical outlet to a position inside the electrical outlet.
