Recall Summary

The European Commission Safety Gate alert (case number SR/01665/26) notifies consumers and authorities of a recall concerning ELFLIQ brand electronic cigarette cartridges sold in Czechia. The product is a replacement cartridge for electronic cigarettes, marketed under the name “NIC SALTS, POWERED BY ELFBAR” with the flavour “APPLE PEACH”.

Hazard Information

The recall notice identifies a chemical risk associated with the product. Specifically, the declared concentration of nicotine in the cartridge is 50 mg/ml, which is considered an excessive level. Exposure to a high dose of nicotine can be acutely toxic. Nicotine is a hazardous substance that can endanger the user’s safety, particularly if the liquid comes into contact with the skin or is ingested unintentionally.

In addition to the chemical hazard, the product lacks an information leaflet. Without such documentation, consumers cannot obtain essential instructions and warnings needed for safe handling and use. The product therefore does not comply with the requirements of the Tobacco Products Directive (European Union legislation governing the manufacture, presentation, and sale of tobacco and related products). The notice classifies the risk level as Serious.

Note: No laceration hazard or other physical hazards are described in the source recall data. The only hazards explicitly stated are the chemical risk from high nicotine concentration and the non-compliance due to missing information leaflet.

Consumer Action Required

Consumers who have purchased the affected ELFLIQ NIC SALTS cartridge (batch ELP038205, barcode 45314800633676374, flavour APPLE PEACH) should immediately stop using the product. The recall notice does not specify a return or disposal procedure; however, the official measure ordered by the retailer is a stop of sales. No further consumer instructions—such as mailing the product back, contacting the distributor, or seeking a refund—are provided in the source data.

What to do in the absence of explicit instructions:
– Discontinue use of the cartridge.
– Keep the product away from children and pets.
– Contact the point of sale where the product was purchased for guidance on return or disposal.
– Monitor the official Safety Gate alert page for any updates.

Official Remedy

The only remedy recorded in the recall notice is a stop of sales at the retailer level. The measure was ordered by the type of economic operator (retailer) and entered into force on 19 April 2026. The source does not state that a refund, replacement, or other consumer compensation is being offered directly by the manufacturer or distributor. The recall code and company recall code fields are both marked as “nil” in the source data, indicating that no specific company recall programme was detailed.
