It was inferred that both receptacles were wired together with no switch. Meaning that if you plugged into one it made the other live. The safety issue is that the unused receptacle was live. The other issue is if some one accidentally plugged in a second wire there would suddenly be 240v instead of 120v. While neither of these are likely to ever occur, if either did occur the result could be anything from nothing to expensive to deadly.
