Illegal E-cigarette Devices Found in Northumberland
According to a report from Northumberland Gazette on September 6th, officials from the Trading Standards department of Northumberland County Council's Public Protection Service discovered a significant quantity of imported e-cigarette devices during a routine inspection in the southeast of the county. The products seized included Hatati Pro Max 4000, Elux 2500, and Prime Bars.
The seized devices are not registered with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), so they cannot be legally sold in the UK. Some of the devices do not meet the UK safety regulations, as their capacity is six times larger than allowed, including lithium batteries, or they are inadequately labelled.
Cabinet member and MP Gordon Stewart stated, "Our trade standards team is working diligently to remove these illicit products from the shelves and ensure the elimination of any risks they may pose."
All local businesses engaged in the sale of e-cigarettes should understand the importance of fulfilling their legal obligations. We urge companies to inspect their inventory, remove any non-compliant products from their shelves, and return them to the supplier.
