No, I'm 100% correct.
The appliance will either be double insulated (a plastic casing counts towards this) or it will be grounded.

It's all in the Underwriters Laboratories regulations. There is an exception for appliances with exposed heating elements such as toasters.

Google IEC 60335 if you don't believe me.
