It is good to see one of the main disposable brands Elf Bar acknowledging that there are fake dodgy disposables getting into the hands of consumers.
Some of the counterfeiters have manufacturing equipment at their disposal to create very similar looking devices without really giving a toss about the safety and cleanliness of the ingredients and components used.
The above information came from a press release from the CISION PR Newswire.
I have not seen anything on the Elf Bar Website apart from the videos below which are there to help educate on the real Elf Bar manufacturing processes.
Elf Bar Response
Apparently according to the press release Elf Bar have cracked down on more than 120 counterfeit operations and seized more than 2 million dodgy disposables.
Victor Xiao (Chief Executive of Elf Bar) said…
“Consumers would be horrified if they saw the conditions in which these products are made and quite rightly so. The criminals behind these counterfeit products care nothing about product safety or the health of consumers and they cut every corner possible to maximize their profits.”
“Quite frankly, the conditions in these factories are absolutely squalid where workers man production lines in filthy conditions with no regard to hygiene at all.”
They are building an intelligence dossier on fake products to help counteract the fakers who are getting smarter and more efficient. A campaign to educate retailers and customers about the threat of fake products has been created too.
