Unplug it before you sling it in the bin

I believe that type of multiway connection unit was made by Masterplug, but not 100% certain. Never like them because the way the covers were secured on the plugs was very flimsy. Hence why one of yours had become detached.
As above, disconnect it and bin it. Fit standard 13A plug tops (hi George) and use a good branded multiway extension lead. If you're feeling really crazy then get a spark to fit you a couple of extra double sockets.
