Beverly Hills, FL. Oct. 02, 1998 - Tom Fields and Associates, Inc., today unveiled an exciting new child safety product, the PlugHouse(tm). The PlugHouse(tm) makes safe a previously overlooked danger zone found in virtually every house, garage, or shed - Powertools. Mr. Fields, who researched and developed the product, realized that electric powertools pose a potentially deadly threat to children's safety, especially school-aged children. "Many child safety products on the market today focus on infants and toddlers. Older children can easily disable most of the safety devices being sold, such as outlet covers." The patented PlugHouse(tm) can truly be described as a genuinely new child safety product. Mr. Fields notes, "In the workplace, one of the most common OSHA citations involves accidentally energizing equipment. I thought, why not apply that thinking to the home?" The PlugHouse(tm) works by securing the plug ends of power tools (or any electrical device) in a sturdy plastic enclosure, which holds up to 6 plugs at once. The enclosure is then secured with a brass padlock (included). The PlugHouse(tm) may be mounted with the supplied screws, if desired. The concept is that if the plugs are secured the tool can't be used without the keyholder's permission. "I challenge parents to go to their workshops, sheds, garages, and see how readily accessible their electric drills, saws, and electric garden equipment are," Fields says. "It's no fault of parents or safety manufacturers, it's just a blindspot that even the literature on home safety and babyproofing ignore." The PlugHouse(tm) is not meant to substitute for adult supervision, but will give peace of mind to parents, grandparents, and shop school teachers, that they can't claim now. An added benefit is that the PlugHouse(tm) can be used to secure many other things that use plugs and cords. Televisions, copy machines, postal meters, computers, can all be protected from unauthorized use. And the engineering of the enclosure is such that a wide range of plug sizes can be accommodated. Tom Fields & Associates, Inc. is focusing on the many sites on the Internet dealing with children and children's issues to bring about awareness of the potential danger of electric powertools and the easy, affordable remedy the PlugHouse(tm) supplies. They are also seeking more traditional mass market distribution arrangements. The PlugHouse is affordable protection for your children. It retails for $16.95 (plus $3 s&h).
