Product description
The submitted sample, Item #82014, Snoop Proof Safe, consists of a plastic toy safe with detachable plastic motion sensor alarm designed for children aged 6 years and older. The safe measures approximately 3 inches in height x 10 inches in width x 7-1/2 inches in length, and contains storage compartments inside. The motion sensor alarm measures approximately 4-1/2 inches in height x 1-1/4 inches in width x 2-1/4 inches in length, and has a plastic hangar at one end. This allows the motion sensor alarm to be placed either inside a compartment on the outside of the safe or hung on the child’s doorknob to “alert” the child to an intruder’s presence at his safe or at his door. The Snoop Proof Safe is for amusement of limited use and not of the quality one would associate with a “real” safe.
