Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
The AC Power Adaptor (Model DSA-10P-05) supplied with the 3Com 3108 Wireless Phone poses a serious risk of electric shock.

This defect affects only the UK, Australia, and EU adaptor plugs; the US adaptor plug does not have this problem and is safe to use.
