A reminder to everyone - FatallyFlawed - Child Plug Socket Covers Campaign

[Knobhead]

Re: Fatally Flawed

Meanwhile, Amazon have been busy this week removing most of the negative reviews on socket covers, including my video review of the Clippasafe type.

I just don’t know what to say. You must despair at times.

Keep on banging the drum though, it’s the only way.

I despair of the people who promote the myth, but not the cause we are fighting for!

Here is an example of the warped thinking that goes on:

Having realised that the tide is turning against their promotion of socket covers as essential to stop children poking their fingers into sockets, Clippasafe now claim that covers are to prevent children plugging things in. On their website they say that covers “will prevent children from plugging in electrical items such as heaters and hair straighteners”. But, the Clippasafe type, also sold under the Boots and John Lewis brands, is“easily removed from the socket by inserting the plug you need to use” (Clippasafe’s own description of their product) so the suggestion that it can prevent children plugging in a dangerous device is clearly absolute nonsense!

Just a reminder to everyone, could you all please keep banging the drum for the http://www.fatallyflawed.org.uk/ site and campaign?

The sooner the world is rid of “childproof socket covers” the better it will be.

I’ve managed to get them banned from two health care trusts, with your help more should follow.

OK I banned then from my own house 27 years back. If it hadn’t been for you FF, I wouldn’t have realised what a bloody menace they really were.
You keep up the good work, I’ll help as and when I can.

I do my bit with customers and council officers,:bucktooth:

Informing one person may help create a pyramid effect, and cross fingers, the news will spread if enough sparks take the time to spread the word


Well done Tony for keeping the subject active and to FF for all the research info :martini_shaken:

I was in shakeaway milkshake bar in Winchester, it's massive and is just like a little youth club. I noticed they had them in all their sockets and I pointed out the dangers of them and told them to google fatally flawed for all the facts. He did and he saw me a week later, told me he's removed them from his shop and has put the word around to the other shakeaways to remove them also!

We have the owner of that website as a member on here somewhere you know. Didn't know he was a TV presenter!

Re: A reminder to everyone

Ahhh no I've read that wrong on his website, that's a bloke who supports the campaign, who isn't a member. David who owns the website is a member though!
