Investigation Reveals Untraceable E-cigarette Products in Vietnam
Vietnamese authorities seize large quantities of e-cigarette products of unknown origin during inspections in Long An Province.

According to the latest report on November 20th, local market regulatory and law enforcement authorities in Long An province, Vietnam, conducted inspections on merchants and found a significant number of e-cigarette products with unknown origins.

 

The public security department and market management department in Benluo County, Long'an Province, conducted inspections on two businesses, Hulo Vape House and 97 Vape House.

 

It has been revealed that the two aforementioned stores were engaged in a transaction, as the market regulatory authorities have seized 1179 unidentified e-cigarette products.

 

During the inspection, the aforementioned retailers were unable to provide invoices or documents verifying the legality of the goods. As a result, the local market regulatory department confiscated all unidentified e-cigarette products temporarily, and is currently cooperating with relevant authorities to conduct an investigation, verify the facts, and take appropriate legal actions.
