Default Why aren't toasters grounded?

You've never seen a toaster with a two prong cord? That's all they come with. Toasters don't require, or come with, a three prong plug because they're double insulated. Oh and it's impossible to get electrocuted by putting a mental object in the toaster( ie: metal fork). A little education goes a long way in today's world.


Toasters are expected to be plugged into a GFCI "small appliance
circuit". There is a great amount of safety because of that.
