:30 FIREWORKS
SAFETY - VOICER & MUSIC
ACCORDING TO
THE U.S. CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION, MORE THAN
9,000 FIREWORKS RELATED INJURIES HAPPEN EACH YEAR. TO
HELP, THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF OPHTHALMOLOGY OFFERS THESE
TIPS FOR FIREWORK SAFETY. NEVER LET CHILDREN PLAY WITH
FIREWORKS OF ANY TYPE. LEAVE THE LIGHTING OF FIREWORKS
TO TRAINED PROFESSIONALS. VIEW FIREWORKS FROM A SAFE
DISTANCE, AT LEAST 500 FEET AWAY OR UP TO A QUARTER
OF A MILE FOR BEST VIEWING. ATTENDING PROFESSIONAL FIREWORKS
DISPLAYS INSTEAD OF USING FIREWORKS AT HOME IS A SAFE
WAY TO HONOR THE NATION'S TRADITION OF INDEPENDENCE.
