The dad of a schoolboy from Greater Manchester who was permanently disfigured after being badly burned by a disposable barbecue is calling for them to be banned.
Toby Tyler's son Will needed skin grafts and has been and has been left with lifelong scars after stepping on an extremely hot piece of sand where a barbecue had been in June 2020. The family had moved the barbecue hours earlier but the sand was still "red hot" when Will walked over it.
Mr Tyler, a schoolteacher from Stockport, had to carry his then nine-year-old son for 20 minutes to get him from Formby beach on Merseyside to the family car. From there he rushed Will to hospital with wife Claire, 44, and daughter Lily, 13.
