A rotating safety outlet includes an outer case and a rotating piece defining plug holes and received inside the outer case and configured to rotate relative to the outer case. A pair of power conducting pieces is coupled to the rotating piece. A pair of latching assemblies is coupled to the outer case. The rotating piece is rotated along a predetermined angle of rotation by a plug inserted into the plug holes. The plug inserted into the plug holes resists against the power conducting pieces. When the rotating piece is rotated along the predetermined angle of rotation, the pair of power conducting pieces contacts the pair of latching assemblies to cause the plug, the pair of power conducting pieces, and the pair of latching assemblies to be electrically coupled together. A latching assembly locks the rotating piece in place after being rotated along the predetermined angle of rotation.
