User feedback

Mrs zhang said the product allowed parents who could not always keep watch feel safer as they face 1 less danger9/10Mrs khor saidProduct is fast and efficientHelps reduce accidental gas activationMight be too easy to figure out

ImprovementsInstead of using clear plastic, we have decided to use opaque white. Made the cap comfortable and easier to grip by adding ridgesWhen moving the cap, it makes a louder clicking noise so as to alert adults that child is playing with gas knob.
