Clapham Mobile X Vape in south London was fined over £13,000 following an inspection by Trading Standards, triggered by reports of selling vapes to children. During the inspection, officials found the shop had sold 600 vapes and electric adapters without necessary safety checks. The court ordered the destruction of the seized products and highlighted the importance of consumer protection. This case comes amid government plans to ban disposable vapes to reduce waste and protect youth from vaping, though the vape industry warns of potential increases in illegal sales.
A South London shop, Clapham Mobile X Vape, has been fined over £13,000 for selling illegal vapes containing harmful chemicals to children.
Trading Standards discovered the shop lacked safety checks on its products, leading to the seizure of 600 illegal vapes and other items.
Cllr Graeme Henderson emphasized the significant safety risk posed by illegal vapes and reaffirmed the commitment to uphold legal standards for community safety.
