Major UK Grocery Chains Remove Elf Bars After Violations Found

Date:

Three major British grocery chains have removed some Elf Bar disposable vapes from their shelves after the manufacturer admitted that products containing illegal features were distributed to some retailers.

Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Morrisons stores have removed watermelon-flavored Elf Bar 600 devices from their stores, and Morrisons has removed all flavors of the 600 series, according to ITV News.

The three retailers are among the largest British grocery chains.

The grocery stores’ decision came after British tabloid the Daily Mail tested several Elf Bar 600 vapes and reported they contained between 3 and 3.2 milliliters of e-liquid. UK law prohibits vape tanks or other containers attached to vaping devices that are larger than 2 mL.

The products in question did not contain e-liquid with nicotine strengths greater than the legal limit of 20 mg/mL (2 percent), as the Daily Mail had claimed.
