Aldi, M&S and Co-op ban disposable barbecues in Scottish stores

Marks & Spencer has pulled disposable barbecues from its shelves following fire concerns, joining Aldi and Co-op.

The retailer announced on Wednesday that it was taking the "precautionary step" of stopping sales of the product in its stores across Scotland and the UK.

As reported by MyLondon, fire officials praised the news after calling for a total ban on the sale of disposable barbecues last week. Marks & Spencer had previously halted sale of the product near national parks in an effort to prevent fires, and has now extended this to all of its stores.
