PSU Mains Cable incorrect voltage

I bought a new HX850i Corsair PSU and while awaiting for arrival I read about it, the key thing here is that the voltage input is 100-240v. Upon arriving and opening I checked all the cables and saw the mains cable, a UK kettle lead, says "250~ v".

 

I'm wondering if this will be an issue, worries because I've heard a friend's PSU (not a HXi psu) had a capacitor or something else inside explode recently.

 

If anyone could happily tell me to not use it and buy a 240v one, or just settle my fears, that would be great. For now I'm not using it but I will be cabling my PC.
