In the first position the plug insertion guard assembly is in a blocking position relative to openings in the housing and thus the wall socket outlet; whereas, when the plug insertion guard assembly is in the second position, access to the wall socket outlet is unrestricted so that male components of an electrical plug can be inserted into female openings of a wall socket to complete the electrical circuit therebetween.
