Luckily Furutech has revisited their design and the ground pin is now cast thicker and the connection part in the housing is more robust together with a firmer, denser NCF assembly face on the plug.

Furutech actually corrected this years ago. There could be old stock floating around out there (and fakes) but Furutech made the change years ago - at least 4 years ago from my experience.
