I'm trying to locate (in the US) a *grounded* (i.e.3-prong) plug in switch

I've got a standard 15amp outlet that I have an appliance that I need to be
switch on-and-off-able (is that a word) at the outlet.

Leviton make a non-grounded version (2-prong in, and 2-prong out), but I
need it to be grounded.

Any ideas?

This what you mean?

I beleive It is against the NEC to have the grounded and grounding
conductors switched.

I think the OP is asking about an *inline* switch in a cordset (plug &
outlet), so they can put it between the outlet and appliance to switch
it on & off.

But while what you suggested isn't what they asked for, it should work,
so long as they only need one outlet in the box (or on that side of a
double box).
