<p>The Department has received representations from FatallyFlawed.org.uk putting forward
their view that socket covers should be banned as they believe them to be unnecessary
and dangerous due to the safety shutter system installed as standard in UK electrical
sockets.</p><p>Under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, all products placed
on the UK market must be safe and any products that do not comply can already be removed
from sale by Trading Standards. There are no reports of injuries or death as a result
of the use of socket covers.</p>
