I've just been given a set of cordless headphones for Xmas; it comes with a base station powered from a wallwart.
Although this was purchased in the UK for use in the UK (from UK-based Amazon seller), the wall wart is a round 2-pin sort, ie as used in continental Europe and as would fit in a shaver socket over here. No adapter was supplied in the retail pack. I do have a shaver-plug adapter I can use it with, but the assembly is bulky, not particularly robust, and as far as I'm concerned, wholly unsatisfactory compared with a proper 3-pin wallwart. AFAICS it's simply a retail pack intended for continental Europe rather than UK.
So before I approach the retailer I'm curious to know whether it's actually legal to sell electrical equipment here with only a 2-pin plug like this? If not, would it be permissible to sell it together with a shaver-plug adapter? (just pre-empting the retailer sending me one of those as a 'solution'!). I don't know whether the whole Amazon thing affects any of this, either.
Also, if anyone could point me at any relevant legislation online which I can quote, that would be great!
Thanks David
