Asda and Lidl join other major supermarkets in banning disposable barbecues due to safety fears

All of the United Kingdom's major supermarkets have now culled disposable barbecues from shelves, amidst safety concerns during humid temperatures across the nation.

Asda and Lidl are the latest retailers who have recently removed the summer product from sale, joining Aldi, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, the Co-Op, Waitrose and M&S.

There are severe concerns that disposable barbecues have the potential to start wildfires after a long spell of dry weather, with a drought being declared across eight areas of England alone yesterday (August 12).
