Last year, between June 22 and July 22 a lot more than five,000 folks had been seen in hospital emergency rooms across the country because of fireworks. According to the U.S. Customer Solution Security Commission (CPSC), about eight,700 folks were treated for fireworks connected injuries final year, with firecrackers, homemade fireworks and aerial explosives being the major causes of injuries, NBC News reports.

According to NBC News, American College of Emergency Physicians President Dr. Andrew Sama says that almost 200 folks a day are treated for fireworks related injuries, with most becoming triggered by malfunctioning fireworks, lighting fireworks too close to other people, holding fireworks in your hands while setting them off, and playing with employed fireworks. Nearly half of the reported injuries occurred as burns to the face, head, and hands.

Pipeline Hazardous Supplies Safety Administration (PHMSA) Administrator Cynthia Quarterman told NBC that the agency performs to make sure that transported explosives adhere to safety regulations, and that fireworks are explosives. Yet U.S. Customs and Border officials and the CPSC inspected imported fireworks final year and found that some 30 percent of the shipments tested failed to meet safety specifications set in the Federal Hazardous Substance Act (FHSA).

The knowledgeable personal injury law firm of Alonso Krangle warns the public that it doesnt matter where fireworks come from, none are entirely protected and even bottle rockets and sparklers send more than 1,000 folks to the emergency area each year with burns. In fact, a 17-year-old from Arkansas died final year following the 300 sparklers he taped together exploded when he lit them. Five other men were also killed in fireworks mishaps final year.

Use common sense around fireworks, maintain a close eye on your young children, deal with all fireworks in the safest manner, and obey the fireworks laws in your state. Safety officials advise enjoying firework shows that are put on by professionals instead of letting them off your self.

Dont let any member of your family become a fireworks injury statistic. Alonso Krangle hopes that you stay protected and take pleasure in your Fourth of July vacation celebrations.
