High street retailer Marks & Spencer has announced that it will no longer sell disposable barbeques in any of its stores. The retailer announced the store-wide ban on Twitter, ahead of weather forecasters predicting a heatwave for the UK in the coming days.
M&S tweeted: "We'd already stopped selling disposable barbecues near national parks and in London but given the unusually hot and dry conditions, we've taken the precautionary step of removing them from sale across the UK."
London Fire Brigade has praised the decision to ban disposable BBQs from the stores, reports the Manchester Evening News. On Twitter, LFB said: "We want to work with retailers to stop the sale of disposable barbecues and reduce the risk of dangerous grass fires."
