    Fireworks Position Statement

    Fireworks Position Statement Position Statement Prevent Blindness supports the development and enforcement of bans on the 211 West Wacker Drive importation, sale and use of all fireworks and sparklers, except those used in Suite 1700 authorized public displays by competent licensed operators. Chicago, Illinois 60606 800.331.2020 In order to eliminate the health and economic impact of fireworks accidents, PreventBlindness.org Prevent Blindness further supports the following: • All state governments should adopt a uniform model law that would establish standards and codes for public fireworks displays conducted under controlled conditions by trained and licensed personnel. • The importation, general sale and indiscriminate use of all fireworks (including consumer fireworks and sparklers) by unlicensed adults and children should be banned. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission should work to ban the use of consumer fireworks and sparklers by the public. • Federal agencies should enact and/or rigidly enforce regulations prohibiting the importation, Internet/mail order and interstate transportation of consumer fireworks and sparklers. • Healthcare practitioners and local authorities should be required to report any fireworks or sparkler-related injuries, property damages and deaths. Injuries and incidents can be reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission by calling 800.638.2772 or filing a report on their website, http:// www.cpsc.gov/. • All professionals, organizations and agencies concerned with the safety of the American public should intensify educational efforts to inform adults and children of the hazards associated with the use of all types of fireworks and sparklers. Note: Sparklers include two classifications, based upon the type of combustible used: Certain sparklers are classified as 1.4G fireworks (often called “consumer fireworks”), while others are classified as “novelties.” Both types of sparklers burn at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, fireworks can turn a joyful celebration into a painful memory when children and adults are injured or killed while using fireworks. Although legal consumer fireworks that comply with U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulations can be relatively safe when used responsibly, all fireworks, by their nature, are hazardous and can cause injuries. Fireworks are classified as hazardous substances under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA). Some fireworks, such as illegal firecracker-type devices (M-80s, quarter sticks) and professional display fireworks should never be handled by consumers, due to the risk of serious injury and death. Following are a few examples of recent deaths caused by illegal fireworks: UCT SAFE D TY O R C P O M R E M M I S U S S I O N N O C U N ES ITED STAT CPSC - FIREWORKS SAFETY FACT SHEET (800) 638-2772 • CPSC.gov • SaferProducts.gov PAGE 1 Fireworks - Related Deaths 2017-2018 • A 16-year-old male from Florida died after a mortar tube exploded in his hand on July 5, 2018.
