How best to eval heat risk from AC adaptors

WHat P=VI values are safe to leave plugged in indefinitely (clock or phone)?

I still remember a 1970s Readers Digest on a fire from a 1950s telephone adaptor..

nonsense question PVI unless they're complex numbers. All devices are safe according to the regulatory agency that approved them using whatever standards they used. ALL DEVICES FAIL. Some catch fire.

I once read in readers digest that a house can catch fire. Does that allow me to make blanket statements about which houses are safe? Hint: NO.
