Take Special Care With Sparklers

Sparklers can be beautiful and enjoyable for young children but adults must be aware of their potential.

Sparklers are the cause of a disproportionate number of injuries but only a few simple precautions are necessary.

Always supervise children with sparklers.

Hold the sparkler at arms length, but not near anyone else.

Sparklers are not for the under 5s.They will be labelled as such and it is your responsibility.

Have a container of water handy, big enough for the spent sparklers.

Dump the sparkler in it as soon as it goes out.
