Enci,
Simply put, any electrical appliance marketed in the U.S. should
conform to UL standards. You did not state what type of product this
is, so I cannot say what standards apply. However, in general, I would
be very surprised if any UL standard permitted a two wire plug on a
Class 1 (earth grounded) design.

Subject: US Mains Plug/Earthing
I am in the UK, a customer in USA wants us to fit
2 pin mains plugs to the Class 1 appliances he
is going to be buying from us.
He is very firm that there are no regulations in US
that requires this to be so. Is that true?
Thank you.
