OUR VISION

As a parent himself, Carlos Gomez developed the STOPIT SOCKET for one reason. To keep his kids safe. That philosophy comes with every single product we design.

STOPIT SOCKET allows you piece of mind that provides a very mild education to your child so that no harm will never befall them.

Built for Cognitive Recognition

Recognition is a cognitive ability that makes it possible to recover stored information and compare it to the information being presented in front of you.

STOPIT SOCKET is designed to reinforce this skill through a child’s natural ability to make visual and auditory patterns through learning.

The gentle sound and overall design of the product helps your child make that connection to not touch the socket.

“Shocking Facts About Child Safety”

89% of all injuries caused by electrical outlets are to children under age 6.

  • Each year, 4,400 children suffer severe shock and burns after sticking small metal objects into electrical outlets.

  • 100 children each day are treated in hospital emergency rooms after playing with those outlets.

  • 6 to 12 of those children end up dying.

STOP IT SOCKET is the safe option for your home!

SAFTEY TIPS THAT CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF YOUR CHILD

What You Can Do:

  1. Disconnect the power supply before you touch an injured child who is still receiving current; pull the plug or turn off the main switch. 

  2. Never touch a live wire with your bare hands. If you have to lift a live wire from a child, use a dry stick, a rolled-up newspaper, thick clothing, or another sturdy, dry, nonmetallic object that won't conduct electricity.

  • Move the child as little as possible because severe electric shock may have caused a spinal fracture.

  • If you can't remove the source of the current, try to move the child, but don't use your bare hands. Insulate yourself with rubber or with any of the nonconductive items suggested for lifting a live wire so that the current doesn't pass from the child's body to yours.

  • Once the current is off, quickly check the child's breathing, pulse, skin color, and alertness. If the child isn't breathing or there is no heartbeat, begin CPR immediately while someone else goes for medical help.

Prevention

The best way to prevent electrical injuries is to cover all outlets, make sure all wires are properly insulated, tuck wires away from your child's reach, and provide adult supervision whenever children are in an area with potential electrical hazards. Small appliances are a special hazard around bathtubs or pools.
