E cigarettes linked to 100 fires - 04/11/2014

Fire services in the UK are now attending at least one blaze involving the devices each week, statistics obtained by the Press Association suggest. They have attended dozens of incidents suspected to have been sparked by e-cigarettes or related equipment including chargers in less than three years.

Fires caused by charging e-cigarettes are a growing problem and we are becoming increasingly concerned about them.

RANA stated "People buy cheap or incompatible chargers for many reasons - often to save a few pounds - but you have to ask whether this is worth risking lives for."

We urge you to follow the manufacturer's instruction carefully.
