UK supermarkets are removing one of the most popular e-cigarettes from their shelves after illegal levels of nicotine were found.

Watermelon flavoured ELFBAR 600s were found to have at least 50% more than the legal limit for nicotine e-liquid.

Across the country, the vape product has been removed from Tesco and Sainsbury's stores.

While Tesco is investigating the issue with the vape supplier, the Watermelon line is no longer on shelves. Other vape products are still for sale.

Fellow leading supermarkets Asda and Morrison's did not confirm if they had removed the product.

Asda confirmed to ITV News that it was working with the supplier to investigate the matter.

The removal of the product comes after a Daily Mail investigation, when the newspaper purchased multiple £5.99 vapes, at a Derbyshire Tesco, and sent them for testing.
