The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the Alliance to Stop Consumer Fireworks is sending this safety message to July 4th revelers: leave the fireworks to the professionals! “There is really no such thing as completely safe consumer fireworks,” said Dr. Brian Keaton, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians. “Every year, we treat children and adults who have been burned or injured by legal fireworks. The pleasure is temporary, but the pain can be permanent.” ACEP and the Alliance to Stop Consumer Fireworks have called for a ban on consumer fireworks use before Independence Day celebrations get underway. This year, the Alliance to Stop Consumer Fireworks has produced a video currently appearing on YouTube, featuring the story of Michael Shannon, a three-year-old boy who was killed when a legal consumer firework struck him in the head during a July Fourth family celebration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= C2Pfil_2a3I. Here are some facts and figures related to fireworks injuries: • Males suffer twice the number of fireworks-related injuries that females do. • Children between the ages of 10 and 14 have the highest injury rate for fireworks. • Nearly one-third of fireworks injuries involve hands and fingers. • One-quarter of fireworks injuries involve the eyes. • More than half of fireworks injuries are burns. • The three top sources for fireworks injuries are small firecrackers, fireworks rockets and sparklers. • Sparklers burn at temperatures in excess of 1000 degree Fahrenheit. “Fireworks injuries cost millions of dollars every year, but the most heartbreaking cost of fireworks injuries is the human cost in suffering,” said Dr. Keaton. “We can never replace a finger, a hand or an eye, and burns leave scars that last a lifetime. Please enjoy July 4th at one of the many public fireworks displays around the country and let the professionals do the work!” ACEP is a national medical specialty society representing emergency medicine with more than 25,000 members. ACEP is committed to advancing emergency care through continuing education, research and public education. Headquartered in Dallas, TX, ACEP has 53 chapters representing each state, as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. A Government Services Chapter represents emergency physicians employed by military branches and other government agencies.
