Don't change outlets if your wiring does not have a ground wire in the box. Otherwise someone plugging in a device would have no idea it's not actually grounded.

You use these on non-grounded outlets where your appliance has a grounding prong. In which case you cannot change out the outlet since it will not meet code.
