Marks and Spencer has revealed it will ban the sale of disposable barbecues across all of its UK stores. The upmarket retailer has pulled the product in a bid to reduce the risk of avoidable fires.
The move comes after record-breaking temperatures were recorded over the course of the summer - in which an all-time high of incidents relating to disposable cookers was reported to fire services across the nation.
The high-street favourite has said it wants to 'help protect open spaces and reduce the risk of fires' by banning the product from stores.
