 That's according to the annual fireworks report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Eight people died from accidents involving pyrotechnics. The commission has a few tips to help people stay safe. It says to never use fireworks drunk or high and keep them away from children. Yes, even sparklers. The age group most likely to get injured and go to the ER was teens 15 to 19 years old, followed by kids age five to nine.
