myList = {{1, 2, 3}, {e, f}, {g, h}};

Flatten[Outer[List, Sequence @@ myList], Length[myList] - 1]

{{1, e, g}, {1, e, h}, {1, f, g},
    {1, f, h}, {2, e, g}, {2, e, h},
    {2, f, g}, {2, f, h}, {3, e, g},
    {3, e, h}, {3, f, g}, {3, f, h}}

Tuples[myList]

{{1, e, g}, {1, e, h}, {1, f, g},
    {1, f, h}, {2, e, g}, {2, e, h},
    {2, f, g}, {2, f, h}, {3, e, g},
    {3, e, h}, {3, f, g}, {3, f, h}}

% == %%

True
