the female plugs in the adapter are not to spec to female outlet plugs. so it can't be legally sold there. (me thinks. in Brazil you can't sell outlet stuff that are not up to government spec) That's not a problem in the UK. You can sell non-standard-shape plugs and sockets as long as they're up to the safety spec in all other respects. I believe that also means that they have to be sufficiently different from the standard ones that it's impossible to attempt to fit a standard plug into a non-standard socket (or vice versa).
