Please think before you "just fool
around" with fireworks
- One of every three fireworks injuries is
to the eyes.
- One of every four fireworks eye injuries means
some kind of permanent blindness.
- Fireworks not only damage eyes but hands,
fingers, faces, ears and bodies. They burn, cut and puncture. They can
maim and kill.
- No one is safe. Every year in Illinois,
babies, boys and girls, teens, and men and women in their 20's, 30's,
40's, 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's are burned or hurt by fireworks.
Fireworks are gunpowder explosives and are Just
plain dangerous. Even sparklers bum at high temperatures and the thin hot
wires can cause serious harm-especially in the hands of children.
DON'T CELEBRATE WITH FIREWORKS
FIREWORKS HURT |
