Disposable barbecues withdrawn from supermarket shelves over wildfire risk

Lidl becomes latest retailer to halt sales of the barbecues as Met Office issues highest fire warning

All big supermarkets have now stopped selling disposable barbecues in the light of the risk of wildfires across the UK.

Morrisons, Asda and Lidl on Friday joined Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Waitrose and Marks & Spencer in temporarily removing the product from sale in all stores as an official drought was declared across large parts of south and east England and the Midlands.
