1.0 out of 5 stars DEFECTIVE! MISWIRED! SAFETY HAZARD!, May 25, 2007

I bought four Y adapters from this seller, two of this ASIN (B000234UFG) and two of ASIN B000FPQO9Q. The four adapters are identical in appearance and have the same defect (described below), so the seller in my case definitely used a common make & model to fulfill orders for both ASIN's.

All four Y adapters are consistently miswired: Each connects the plug's HOT blade to the receptacles' NEUTRAL slots and the plug's NEUTRAL blade to the receptacles' HOT slot. This presents a genuine, 2nd-order safety hazard.

I discovered the defect on the first of the four adapters the hard way: by getting shocked! For the other three, I used a test meter to confirm that they were likewise miswired.

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY BAD: neutral and hot sides are reversed!, December 5, 2007

Be careful: This product has the 'neutral' and the 'hot' sides
reversed. Meaning, the receptacle is NOT following the spec
of a normal wiring. This could be very dangerous depending on
what you use this with.

I was concerned from reviews that said the wiring was reversed, so I bought one and checked it. It was wired correctly and works great! So I ordered 2 more.
