I should have also mentioned that in order to be safe you should insure
that the existing 220v circuit breakers do not exceed the rating of the
new outlet - i.e. 15 or 20 amps, depending on what type of 110V outlet
you use.

That's probably no worry. Likely, the 240V recep was for an electric dryer,
and is on a 30A or 40A circuit.
