The following words are imprinted into the rubber, "CAUTION...CONNECT TAB TO GROUNDED SCREW...CHINA...15A...125V." The adapter plugs are sold as sets of three. The three adapters are enclosed in a plastic shell with a black backer card. The package is labeled in part, "3 PK...GROUNDING ADAPTER PLUG...For connection of 3 pronged plug to a 2 slot grounded outlet...UL LISTED...MADE IN CHINA." Dollar Tree and Only One Dollar stores sold the adapter plugs in the South, Midwest, and East from January 1996 through July 1996 for $1.
