Vapeman branded products are to be withdrawn from sale in Great Britain (GB), following instructions from the MHRA, after failing to complete the notification process. These products, therefore, are deemed “unnotified” and must not be offered for sale.
Only vaping products published on the MHRA website, following approval, should be bought and sold on the UK market. If a product cannot be found on the MHRA’s website, your supplier will be able to confirm whether this has been approved.
Businesses are legally required to:
- Remove all Vapeman products from sale
- Seek assistance from suppliers regarding Vapeman products. Report any complaints to local Trading Standards offices, including copies of all correspondence and invoices.
- Wholesalers of Vapeman should recall all Vapeman products, contacting customers who have purchased Vapeman products, asking them to return them.
***Note that this pertains to Vapeman branded products only (eg Vapeman Solo, Vapeman Solo 600, Vapeman Solo Mini, Vapeman Solo Bar Pro, Vapeman Solo X, Vapeman Solo +, Vapeman Solo Legend etc.) and should not be confused with UK based businesses with a similar name to “Vapeman”.
Trading Standards Officers may carry out compliance visits to premises they suspect of selling Vapeman branded products. A business found to have Vapeman products exposed for sale will have the products seized and enforcement action considered. This enforcement action can include prosecution.
