"These cases highlight the importance of effective regulation and enforcement to ensure product safety.

"We fully support the FDA's view that vapers should always source their devices and liquids from reputable manufacturers, should avoid modifying or adding substances to the products they purchase and should only ever use the devices as the manufacturer intended.

"We are monitoring the situation in the USA and will work closely with all relevant Public Health Authorities around the world such as the FDA, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention and Public Health England."
