Morrisons has issued a UK-wide ban across its stores following safety fears.
The supermarket giant has prohibited the sale of a range of items, with the likes of Tesco and Sainsbury's following suit.
It comes after Watermelon flavoured ELFBAR 600s were found to have at least 50% more than the legal limit for nicotine e-liquid. Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Tesco have all removed the affected watermelon Elf bars from shelves, but other flavours remain.

However, Morrisons has taken it a step further, the MEN reports. It has banned the sale of all ELFBARs in all of its stores.
A spokesperson told ITV News: "As part of our ongoing investigation into the legal compliance of ELFBAR 600 disposable electronic cigarettes with Trading Standards, we have made the decision to remove all flavoured variants from sale.
"The products will only be returned to sale once stock that fully complies with UK legislation becomes available".
Tesco is currently investigating the issue about the nicotine levels in the watermelon-flavoured vape with ELFBAR. A Tesco spokesperson said: "We have temporarily removed one ELFBAR vape line from sale as a precautionary measure, whilst the manufacturer urgently investigates these claims."
A spokesperson for Sainsbury's said: "We are in close contact with our supplier and have temporarily removed the affected Elf Bar product whilst they investigate further.”
A spokesperson for ELFBAR said: "We found out that some batches of the Elf Bar product have been overfilled in the UK. It appears that e-liquid tank sizes, which are standard in other markets [such as the US], have been inadvertently fitted to some of our UK products. We wholeheartedly apologise for the inconvenience this has caused."
