Why all major supermarkets banned disposable barbecues and when they might be back on sale
All major supermarkets in the UK have now stopped selling disposable barbecues because of safety fears during the heatwave.
The Mirror reports Tesco spokesman previously said: "In light of the ongoing heatwave and dry conditions, we've now made the decision to temporarily pause the sale of disposable barbecues across the UK. Asda and Lidl joined the other retailers on Friday in stopping the sale of disposable barbecues, reports the Guardian. Sainsbury's said it was taking the action as a "precautionary measure" and will monitor customer feedback.
Aldi and Waitrose also made the same decision back in March of this year, reports the Manchester Evening News. While no date has been specified, it is understood that disposable barbecues may be back on sale after the heatwave is declared over.
