Vype e-cigarettes sold at Argos have been recalled over fears they could catch fire

The manufacturers are advising that a small number of consumers have brought to their attention some issues with their Vype eTank Pro device.

These issues relate to the potential for the battery to short circuit in particular product batches, which may pose a fire risk.

As a precautionary measure, Vype are asking any customers who purchased a device or a standalone battery for the Vype eTank Pro to return the product to them so they can replace it.

The quickest way to do this is to contact them by email at etankpro@govype.com.

Alternatively, you can contact them by phone at 0800 520 0150.
