1) They are an affordable option (at least at the moment of writing this) when comparing them to some of the other options out there. They also work just as good if not better in various ways.
2) You get a good number of them per box.
3) They are indeed flame retardant. This was a HUGE deal when comparing to some of the other options we had laying around. We took a few other options that claimed to be retardant and lit them to find out they lit up like a candle. These ones, however, burned where they got hit by a flame and stopped (no spread). As you can see in the image. We held a flame to it for 4 seconds for that piece in the image. (update: I guess they aren't letting us post the picture for some reason...that makes their policies feel a little shady here)
The only flaw? The decorative switch ones (only 4 in each pack) have a gap around the switch itself which prevents it from being a really good seal. It is still enough to make a difference (creating somewhat of a seal), but it isn't perfect in any way. It's a tiny flaw, but if half the pack contained these, this would lower the score. In this situation, we didn't see that as necessary.
So, we felt these to be an excellent option for your home for both function and fire safety. You'll feel better at night using these vs some of the other options out there, and your insurance will love you to (god forbid, something happens where they have to even know about them).
On the plus side, these are super easy to install with an electric drill. Just be careful to *not* tighten the plate covers so they're flush with the wall again because you'll break the plate cover around the screw since these do add about 1/16 of an inch to the depth of the outlet. The small gap that creates isn't hugely noticeable unless you're closely inspecting them.
The package comes with several different precut insulation pieces for wall sockets and light switches. Most of my light switches on exterior walls are doubles though, so I couldn't use the single light switch insulators provided. Overall, I'm satisfied with the improvement these bring to my home's insulation, especially at the price.

This is an excellent product and it does the best it can at being a socket sealer - meaning that it will block a draft and cold air as best as a few millimetres-thick piece of foam can. Don't expect huge heating cost savings, but it sure is better than nothing - every little bit helps.
Also, these are very good to avoid any bugs crawling into your home. For example, if you are living in an apartment, bed bugs can easily transverse from your neighbours to your home. So, in my case, I have used an Insectigone Bedbug and Flea Killer Powder and then installed the foams, and voila, problem solved!
