Injuries due to fireworks have been declining over the past decade but statistics show they can still be dangerous. This July 4th, remind your kids about firework safety and work proactively to prevent child injuries.
Safety tips from The National Council on Fireworks Safety:
“Obey the local laws and use common sense”
“Always read and follow instructions. Always have an adult present”
“Keep burning sparklers away from clothing and flammable objects”
“Only use sparklers outdoors, away from buildings and vehicles”
“Light only one sparkler at a time”
“Do not point or throw sparklers at another person”
“Children under the age of 12 should not handle sparklers”
“When finished, place used sparklers in a bucket of water”
