Abstract
Electrical outlet safety devices are adapted for positionally capturing a plug head associated with an appliance cord relative to a receptacle of the outlet. The safety device includes a body plate having front and rear sides and opposed lateral edges, the body plate being adapted for removable connection relative to a cover plate associated with the electrical outlet. At least one elongate open-ended blind channel extends from one toward another of the opposed lateral edges. The channel thus defines an opposed pair of parallel edges to sandwich the plug head associated with the electrical appliance between the body plate and the cover plate of the electrical outlet, whereby the plug head is positionally captured relative to the receptacle.
