Default 2-pin plug supplied

I just bought a new electric toothbrush, one of the Oral-B ones, pretty

Tesco wanted £35, Morrisons wanted £17.50 for the exact same model, so
that's where we bought it.
But when unpacked, (after much fighting and cussing) it only has a 2-pin
plug, which would be fine if we had one of those bathroom 120v
transformer/sockets, but we don't. As it happens, I have lots of
suitable 3pin-to-2pin adaptors. But is the supplier (Morrisons, who
probably have no idea what they sell) not obliged to supply a UK-ready
device? I think I saw something about this recently, but can't remember
where, nor the outcome.



I have \oral-B also has only 2 pin, to be honest this is what you
would expect them to fit as that is the only type of AC outlet in a
bathroom.

So they are being helpful.

The fact you don't have a transformer isolated supply means you have to
charge elsewhere, and supply your own adapter.
