Warning to Parents as Kids Treated for Life-Changing Injuries Due to Fireworks

Parents and children have been warned about the dangers of fireworks as Bonfire Night approaches. They've also been warned that

During a four-week period last year, 46 people attended the hospital for treatment after being injured by fireworks. Nearly half of those treated required plastic surgery or specialist healthcare.
