Irish Health Officials Recall High Nicotine E-cigarettes
According to the Irish Examiner, the Health Service Executive (HSE) of Ireland has recently requested people to stop using certain e-cigarettes due to their high nicotine content.
The HSE (Health and Safety Executive) has instructed individuals to discontinue the use of certain electronic cigarettes from the Aroma King range. Retailers have also been directed to cease the sale of these products.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), certain products released by this brand do not comply with EU tobacco legislation, including flavored products like grape energy, strawberry ice, and unicorn milkshake.
The national tobacco control office has submitted an alert to the EU Rapid Alert System for Dangerous Non-Food Products after discovering that some products exceed the allowed nicotine level (20mg/ml or 2%).
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has reported that a sampling analysis of 46 Aroma King disposable e-cigarettes found that their nicotine concentration exceeded legal levels, with the highest concentration detected being 50.4mg/ml.
The nicotine concentration stated on the packaging is 20mg/ml.
The HSE (Health Service Executive) has made contact with all major distributors of electronic cigarettes and refill containers in Ireland, and is currently reaching out to known retailers of these products.
Dr. Maurice Mulcahy, Regional Chief Environmental Officer of the HSE, stated, "If you have these products, we urge you to discontinue use and return them to the store where you purchased them.
If you have already used it and feel uncomfortable, you should contact your doctor as your first point of contact.
The HSE also added that further information on these products can be found by searching "electronic cigarettes" in the Safety Gate Rapid Alert section of the official EU website.
