A Watford shop has been named and shamed over an illegal vape sale to a 16-year-old.
After the initial offence, Trading Standards sent a 15-year-old to try to buy a similar product on March 2 but that time Mr Parimalanathan refused to sell.
Mr Parimalanathan, of Stafford Road in Wallington, said that he had been distracted by a potential shoplifter during the test purchase. He also told officers he had bought the seized vapes from a man in a white van.Hertfordshire County Council explained that Mr Parimalanathan admitted knowing they were illegal to sell but claimed he saw other shops selling them and only sold to a couple of customers.
The council described Mr Parimalanathan as “cooperative with officers throughout” and said he regretted his mistakes, adding that “he no longer buys vapes from the man in a white van”.The fine was reduced because magistrates noted he had refused the other underage sale but they also said that “in the worst case" the unmarked vapes"could potentially be lethal”.
