Sparklers Safety and Light Instructions

Using Sparklers Safely:
Children under the age of 12 should not use sparklers without very close adult supervision. Show children how to hold sparklers away from their body and at arm’s length.Never hold a child in your arms while using sparklers.

Always remain standing while using sparklers.

Never hold, or light, more than one sparklers at a time.

Sparklers and bare feet can be a painful combination. Always wear shoes when using sparklers.

Sparkler wire and stick remain hot long after the flame has gone out. Be sure to drop the spent sparklers directly in a bucket of water.

Never hand a lighted sparkler to another person. Never throw sparklers.

Lit sparklers should never be held in the close proximity of the clothing, body or face of another person. Never bring the burning sparkler in close contact with any other material, as it will leave scorch marks or possibly ignite the material.
