Poster from Telectrica, showing the mascot Tellie Lectric, a cartoony silhouette of a man wearing a big top hat, holding up many outlets plugged into a power extension, looking overworked and shaking. Text over him reads “Don’t overwork your outlets!” Text under reads “Too much power can lead to shocking dangers. When in doubt consult a professional.”
These safety posters were a response to the spike in electrical accidents following new innovations from Telectrica. The company helped broaden the use of electricity in everyday life, so they felt responsible for the safety of their customers. Telectrica rolled out a PSA campaign regarding the dangers of electricity and urged customers not to try repairing faulty wires or products themselves. Instead, leave electricity to the professionals!
