Nasty Fix 2.0 E-Cigarettes Banned in Sweden Due to Illegal Nicotine Levels
The e-cigarettes branded as “Nasty Fix 2.0” are no longer allowed to be sold in Sweden. The Swedish Public Health Agency has decided to ban these products after tests revealed that they contain more nicotine liquid than permitted under Swedish tobacco regulations.
Exceeding Legal Limits
The products, manufactured by the Irish company Nasty Juice, are disposable e-cigarettes that have been available in 13 different flavors on the Swedish market. However, inspections showed that the containers hold between 3.08 and 3.76 milliliters of nicotine liquid, exceeding the legal maximum of 2 milliliters set by the tobacco law.
In addition to surpassing the permitted volume, inspections revealed quality issues with some of the products, including defective containers that had leaked liquid inside the devices.
Recall Decision
The Swedish Public Health Agency’s decision took effect on February 13, 2025. From that date, Nasty Juice has 30 days to withdraw the products from the Swedish market and take corrective actions to comply with the regulations. The company must also report to the agency on how it is addressing the issue.
Banned E-Cigarette Flavors
The following Nasty Fix 2.0 flavors are included in the ban:
- Cushman Banana 20mg
- Sicko Blue 20mg
- Cushman 20mg
- Asap Grape 20mg
- Slow Blow 20mg
- Menthol 20mg
- Trap Queen 20mg
- Vanilla Tobacco 20mg
- Double Apple 20mg
- Wicked Haze 20mg
- Watermelon Ice 20mg
- Blackcurrant Cotton Candy 20mg
- Bloody Berry 20mg
Market Impact
The decision means that retailers must now remove these products from their shelves. Consumers who have already purchased them should be aware that the nicotine content exceeds Sweden’s legal limits.
Swedish regulations on e-cigarettes are strict and aim to limit access to products with high nicotine concentrations, especially those that may appeal to young users. The ban on Nasty Fix 2.0 demonstrates that authorities are continuing to monitor and ensure that products on the market comply with existing laws.
