ABSTRACT:
An electric outlet child safety cap is provided. Designs include one or more openings in the shield of the safety cap to allow air to pass there through to reduce or to substantially eliminate a choking hazard with the electric outlet safety caps. Safety caps having shields with at least one dimension that is larger than about 1⅔ inches are also provided to reduce or eliminate the chance that a small child will be able to insert the safety cap in the mouth and choke. The openings can be combined with the larger than standard sized shields for additional resistance to the choking hazard.
