Appliances in homes start fires. You would be surprised at how common appliance started fires are, including dishwashers. I had no idea until I worked at the Red Cross. Are those banned, too? Laptop computers have started fires (they have batteries that have to be charged, too). There are also exterior plugs in most homes. 120V is not really that much different than 220/240V. Most of the world uses 220/240V for everything, including curling irons and table lamps and your computer. If 110V is OK, there is zero reason to have a problem with 220V.
