The HSE's National Environmental Health Service has warned that e-cigarette products were found to contain nicotine concentrations between 18.8 mg/ml and over 30 mg/ml. Traditional cigarettes average around 10-12 mg of nicotine. Consumers are advised to return these products and consult with their GPs if adverse effects occur. Retailers are urged to inspect their stocks to prevent selling unsafe products, risking legal repercussions for non-compliance. The HSE is actively monitoring the market and enforcing safety measures to protect public health.
"We are continuing to identify non-compliant products on the Irish market. These six most recent alerts are for products labelled as containing 'no nicotine', but following laboratory analysis by the State Laboratory we found that they have concentrations as high as 30.0 mg/ml."
"Retailers should be checking both the products themselves and their suppliers' details before selling them on to consumers. Otherwise, they may not only be putting the consumer at risk, they may be breaking the law."
