Refrigerator & Washing Machine using "2 to 3 prong" adapter: Fire hazard?

Asked by Spargett (5395points) May 25th, 2008

I just moved into a new place, and noticed that both the washing machine and refrigerator are are plugged into a non-grounded two prong outlet using one of the widely available adapters.

Is this safe for heavy appliances as mentioned?
