No, that's no longer a fire threat. it would desire to be a marvel threat! ok, possibly no longer even a marvel threat, yet a floor plug is to circumvent shocks. you have been given good suggestion to apply the grounding tab on the adapter. even with the floor tab related this does not assure there's a floor cord to the receptacle. some 2 prong receptacles did have a floor cord to the container some did no longer.

Mabye it makes it easier to conect bare wires to them, though that's probably not a good idea.
