The UK government has issued a temporary ban on the sale of disposable barbeques due to the "significant risk to the public" they pose during a heatwave and drought.⁣ ⁣ According to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, the product has been the cause of "a number of serious wildfires across the country over the summer months".⁣ ⁣ Prime Minister Andy Burnham has said all retailers will receive guidance about the change.⁣ ⁣ #bbqban #andyburnham #wildfires #heatwave
