[+] RoidingOldMan@lemmy.world -12 points 2 days ago (1 child) Are you suggesting that a 2 prong power strip/extension cord would be illegal? Because they definitely sell those. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago No, they're suggesting that selling a three pronged extension with disconnected ground is illegal. It is illegal and with good reason. A grounded device with a faulty ground can kill someone. permalink fedilink source parent
