Trading standards visit


 

PC LEE and PC SPIERS attended a store which sells vapes in Shrewsbury Town Centre today along with Trading Standards from Shropshire Council. Did you know it is illegal to sell a vape to anyone under the age of 18? 

The shop itself was found to sell a vape to an underage person. Trading Standards will now be commencing an investigation in to the shop assistant and the store itself. 

 

If you know of any other stores selling vapes to underage youths, please either report this online to us. Or you can report directly to Trading Standards, to do this, contact the Citizens Advice consumer service using their online form (available 5pm Fri - 9am Mon) or speak to an adviser if you need further help with your problem on their consumer helpline: 0808 223 1133.
