Comment on Buying new electrical outlet, and the grounding are just a decoration
klangcola@reddthat.com 2 weeks agoPower strips can be grounded or ungrounded.
This particular power strip has ground pins on the outlets, but they’re not connected to anything , making the power strip both dangerous and illegal. OP should notify the seller and relevant authorities.

Are you suggesting that a 2 prong power strip/extension cord would be illegal? Because they definitely sell those.

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.
