Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Burnham Urges Shops To Stop Selling Disposable BBQs
Caption: Burnham Urges Shops To Stop Selling Disposable BBQs. Andy Burnham has called on retailers across the UK to stop selling disposable barbecues as the country faces a growing risk of wildfires following months of dry weather. He is urging both large and small retailers to follow voluntary guidance and suspend sales during periods of extreme heat. Several major supermarkets have already stopped selling the single-use grills. Burnham said they had been linked to a number of recent fires, and urged people to avoid using them, particularly in the countryside. The government is also considering whether disposable barbecues should be banned during the summer months in the future. With much of England and all of Wales now officially in drought, and temperatures potentially reaching 38 degrees Celsius, authorities are warning the public to take extra care to prevent wildfires.
