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.
Teach them to 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.
