UK Food Wholesaler Booker Recalls and Delists Elux Disposable Vaping Products Over Quality Issues

Today, UK food wholesaler Booker announced a recall of six flavors of Elux disposable vaping devices due to manufacturing quality issues.

In a message sent to retailers on April 12, UK retail media BR saw the wholesaler confirm the complete list of affected flavors, including Mr Blaze, Tiger Blood, Sweet Blueberry Ice, Pink Lemonade, Blueberry Raspberry, and Watermelon Ice, all at 20 mg.

The affected batch codes are listed as KB151208, KB151104, KB150831, and KB151229.

Booker apologized for any inconvenience caused to retailers and stated: If you purchased any affected products from Booker Retail Partners, please stop selling them and submit a claim through the portal to collect the products and process refunds.

This is the latest development in the Elfbar scandal, which was previously reported by the Daily Mail, revealing that several Elfbar 600 e-liquids contained nicotine levels at least 50% higher than the UK’s legal limit for 2 ml.

Major supermarkets, including Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Morrisons, issued a nationwide ban on Elfbar products before Elfbar fully apologized for the alleged manufacturing errors.

BAT commissioned leaked test data that later claimed that nearly all major disposable vaping brands produced by non-major tobacco manufacturers contained illegal levels of e-liquid.

Recently, due to manufacturing quality issues, Booker and One Stop have continued to halt sales of their Lost Mary BM600 disposable pods series.
