My 3 year old son was pushing the limits the other day and partially unplugged an air cleaner that was running in our living room, he then decided to throw a metal toy which hit the exposed plug and caused the outlet to arc and the breaker to trip.
The outlet still worked after resetting the breaker. I have since replaced the outlet but am wondering if the outlet pictured below was unsafe or just had cosmetic damage.
Is this outlet unsafe? Is there a way to test that it is unsafe, perhaps with a volt meter?
