Don’t go viral: We Energies warns parents on the dangers of the #OutletChallenge

You’ve probably seen the viral videos online. Kids are risking their safety to complete the dangerous #OutletChallenge on social media. Safety is our number one priority at We Energies, and we are encouraging all parents to talk to their kids before it’s too late.

The outlet challenge could result in damage to the electrical system in your house, a fire, or serious injury.

We asked our highly-trained staff to show us just how dangerous it is.

Don’t— we repeat— don’t take this challenge. Please talk to your kids today to make sure they don’t put internet fame over their own safety.
