Fireworks can be a source of celebration, but they also present serious safety risks when not handled properly.
Common fireworks-related injuries include:
• Burns to the hands, arms, and exposed skin—sparklers alone burn at extremely high temperatures
• Eye injuries that can result in permanent vision damage
• Lacerations, hearing loss, and respiratory irritation from malfunctioning devices or excessive smoke
• Severe trauma from aerial shells or mortars, sometimes leading to long-term or catastrophic injury
Even with precautions, accidents can still happen.
