Block on Trump's Asylum Ban Upheld by Supreme Court
Between 2000 and 2006, at least 49 people have been killed by fireworks in the U.S., and half of those deaths were caused by the use of illlegal fireworks, according to a Press Release from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). According to Acting CPSC Chairman Nancy Nord, "[l]ast year an estimated 9,200 people were treated in hospital emergency rooms for firework-related injuries. The majority, 6,400, occurred during the one-month period surrounding the 4th of July."
All fireworks devices intended for (or sold to) consumers -- except for firecrackers -- must meet federal performance requirements. In addition, legal issues related to sale and use of fireworks vary from state to state. Below you will find information on fireworks laws. You can also contact your local fire or police department to find out which types of fireworks are legal in your area.
