In the United States, it is customary to launch fireworks on Independence Day on July 4, but it is reported that around 7,000 people in the United States were injured related to fireworks around July 4, 2019. Dana Baiocco of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said fireworks aren't toys, but they aren't treated politely, resulting in injury to users' hands and fingers. Burns account for 57% of firework-related injuries.
In addition, 60-70% of the antiseptic solution used for COVID-19 measures is flammable alcohol, and 'Must not combine alcohol and fire,' said Maureen Vogel, a spokeswoman for the US Safety Council. This is a combination that causes disaster.'
According to CPSC, even a sparkler burns at 1000 degrees, so it easily ignites things around it. Vogel recommended that you handle your fireworks with soap instead of using a hand sanitizer, as handling fireworks after alcohol disinfecting your hands and fingers increases the risk of burns. It is also added as a precaution to remove the hand sanitizer from the surroundings when performing fireworks.
In addition, when playing with fireworks, CPSC 'Do not let young children touch fireworks including sparklers' 'Never put fireworks on your body when igniting' 'Do not throw fireworks' etc. , Has published guidelines for using fireworks safely.
