Six electronic cigarette products falsely labelled as containing 'no nicotine' were found to have concentrations between 18.8 mg/ml and over 30 mg/ml. Traditional cigarettes contain 6-28 mg of nicotine with an average of 10-12 mg. The HSE is advising consumers to return these products to retailers and report any adverse health effects. Retailers are also instructed to verify the compliance of their products to avoid legal repercussions and potential risks to consumer health. The HSE will take necessary legal actions against breaches to protect public health.
The products involved have nicotine concentrations from 18.8 mg/ml to over 30 mg/ml, significantly higher than traditional cigarettes, which average around 10-12 mg.
Six products labelled as containing 'no nicotine' were found to actually have nicotine levels as high as 30.0 mg/ml following lab analysis.
HSE's National Environmental Health Service will exercise legal powers including product seizure and prosecution to ensure public health following the detection of unsafe products.
Retailers are urged to verify product details and supplier information to prevent selling non-compliant products that could endanger consumers or violate laws.
