‘Nicotine-free’ vape bought online contained same amount of the drug as 280 cigarettes, LBC investigation finds
We bought two vapes, listed on Amazon, which raised suspicion with customer reviews being used to quietly tell buyers they do in fact have nicotine in them.The item description for a Blue Razz Ice Lost Mary BM3500 stated clearly that it was a ‘no nicotine vape’.
Jane Wragg, managing director at ADACT Medical in Doncaster, told LBC that the results, when compared to how the devices were advertised, throws up a major issue. A spokesperson told us: “We have removed these two third party products pending further investigation. Third party sellers are independent businesses and must follow all applicable laws, regulations and Amazon policies when listing items for sale in our store.
He said: “I’ve always suggested that Amazon should probably take the same approach that they take with bladed items and knives, so they only allow them to be sold as ‘fulfilled by Amazon’, which means they’re stored in their own warehouse.Last week, it was revealed that there has been a 50% rise in the proportion of children who’ve tried vaping over the past year.
“We also recently announced a new ‘illicit vales enforcement squad’ - backed by £3 million - to remove illegal products from shelves and stop them from crossing our borders.”
