Default 2-pin plug supplied

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

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.

Are you unable to change a plug? If so, why would it be someone else's
problem?


How do you change the plug on a wall wart?


All the oral b brushes I've seen have had a mains lead wth a plug on.
