New York to Legalize Sparklers

The New York State Legislature passed a bill recently that legalizes the sell of sparklers and other novelty related items.  Next year New Yorkers will be able to purchase sparklers without crossing the state line.

Although it wasn't a unanimous decision, some members voted against it because of the safety issue with children.  I encourage parents to buy wire based sparklers since they are smokeless and will not ash off.  The bamboo sparklers ash off quickly and they can cause serious burns.  It is also a good idea to have a bucket of water or sand ready to dispose of the used sparklers since the wire will be VERY hot.

This is exciting news and starting 2012 New Yorkers will be able to safely and legally demonstrate their patriotism as well as have sparklers at any celebration during the year.
