I smell lawsuit.

Especially from some tom-fool who doesn't know to pull both extension cords out of the wall sockets at the same time and/or disconnect them from the inlets on the device first and then gets bitten.

Someone on a USE-Net newsgroup said a similar device was marketed in Canada years ago and was later BANNED and RECALLED by the government there.

Hey....one last note! I notice this is made by an outfit called "Diamond H". I hope there's no relation to that turn-of-the-century Diamond H company that used to manufacture those surface-mount brass & porcelain "turn key" switches for lights.
