Picnic safety warning for Homebase tent purchasers

HOMEBASE HAVE issued a safety notice for a two-man tent that may be in use by hundreds of revellers at Electric Picnic. The ‘Yellowstone’ pop-up tent, being sold in the shops since January 2010, can accidentally restrict the air flow into the chamber when fully zipped up. People who bought the tent from Homebase are asked to return it for a full refund.
