About this episode

Major UK supermarkets including Asda, Tesco, and Sainsbury’s are pausing sales of disposable barbecues amid soaring wildfire risks, following similar moves by retailers like The Co-op and Wilko. Driven by advice from the National Fire Chiefs Council and pressure from MP Jon Pearce, who’s called for a nationwide ban, these chains aim to reduce fire hazards during the hot summer. While Aldi and Lidl have avoided stocking them since 2022, the latest action underscores growing concern over climate-driven fires and the strain on emergency services.
