Finally, an economical way to have all my Heymix devices plugged in at once.

I think you meant 240V.
P (in Watts) = V x I
I remember being told double adapters were dangerous as a kid in school…assume things have changed?
Depends what you plug into these. Good for lighting up lamps, mobile chargers, and similar small stuff. But if you plug a 2000W iron and a 2000W electric heater together, that can surely be dangerous.
not really… the technology or cost for these haven't really changed… always have been shoddy ones, and there always will be. schools/offices set blanket policies so they don't have to deal with the hassle of testing every single one, nor have liability in case a shoddy one does blow up.
I've been using double adapters for nearly five decades without incident. I remember safety advice that they shouldn't be piggybacked. Otherwise, I've never heard any suggestion that they are inherently unsafe.
Don't piggyback double adapters, you mean like this (283 adapters in series):

Not a deal, this is normal price?
I have had a bad experience with these arlec adapters. Always the top plug is loose inside the socket and disconnects/falls out.
Officeworks have the same price on the HPM version and works much better.
Buy 2 to make a triple adapter!
Plug all 3 Click into the same power outlet to get 4 plugs from one, and to heat your room.
Warning: room may be uninhabitable as heat source is fire
