- Never let children handle, play with or light any fireworks.
- Do not use alcohol with fireworks.
- Follow your local and state laws regarding the possession and use of fireworks. Do not use illegal explosives; do not alter any firework device; do not make your own fireworks.
- Use fireworks on a hard, flat & level surface
- Use in a clear, open area. Keep the audience a safe distance away from the shooting site. Do not light fireworks where there is dry grass or brush that could catch fire or near any flammable items. Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers.
- ALWAYS use reloadable shells in an open area, free of obstacles (i.e. – tree branches, homes and buildings, utility lines, and overhead obstructions). DO NOT ignite fireworks of any kind in close proximity to hazardous materials
- NEVER allow children access to reloadable shells. These devices, as in any consumer fireworks, should be operated by adults only.
To help prevent injuries from fireworks-related incidents, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CSPC) enforces federal laws that prohibit the sale of the most dangerous types of fireworks to consumers.
