I am an attorney reporting an incident causing blindness to my 15 year old client. On July 4, 2012 she and others were gathered to watch a fireworks display at the home of a family friend in Puyallup WA . Spectators were on the lawn. The fireworks were being set off out in the street. The fireworks were sold by American Promotional Events Inc. dba TNT Fireworks, 4511 Helton Drive Florence, AL 35634, through their vendor, Graham Evangelical Covenant Church of Graham Washington. I am advised that the particular firework involved was labeled a "Redneck Blaster", a nine shot multi tube product, and that it had discharged three shots before flipping on its side and discharging the remaining shots horizontally towards the spectators. My client was located toward the back of the spectators and was struck in the right eye and blinded.

Child hurt by Black Cat Torpedo cracker snap that exploded in a small glass container sending shards into his subcutaneous tissues. These fuseless firecrackers are much more potent than the "pop pop" snap noisemakers kids often play with. Recommend age restriction for purchase and increased safety warning labels

I have a 10 year old son who was under the care of his grandparents while I was I work. I received a call at work that I needed to meet them at the hospital which was in the town where I worked and 40 minutes from where the accident happened. I was told my son blew his hand off with an m-80. I never questioned things just went to care for my child. My son had been at the junk yard with his grandpa that day helping him. I found out my son had seen a couple fireworks probably 6 months prior to the accident. My dads buddy had brought these fireworks over towards the end of 2017. They had been moved but for some reason that day he had found a lighter from a junk car and remembered seeing the fireworks before so he snuck them off with him. When he went home to his grandparents house he waited for his grandma and little brother to go in the house. he then decided to light 1 of 2 fireworks off. My mom heard a very extreme bang and ran for the door and my son met her on the steps with his hand blown apart. She grabbed a towel wrapped his hand, loaded her dog and his brother up and headed for the ambulance shack as she called 911. My dad was given the fireworks and they were called m-80 by the guy who gave them to him. We never questioned anything just focused on my son. He was taken by ambulance to [REDACTED] where he was then life flighted to [REDACTED] by [REDACTED]. My son went into surgery that night and when he came out he no longer had his right thumb,index finger, or middle finger. his hand was pieced back together and they saved what they could. his ring finger was broken and severely damaged and required pins to hold it and much care to save it. His pinky finger is ok. It also burnt many spots on his body and up the side of his face and behind his ear pretty good. We never asked many questions just asked him if he was holding the firework when he lit it and he said no that he lit it on the ground. We then said you must of tried to throw it because thats what made s

On July 4, 2017, a total of eight (8) Topgun, Big Win, fireworks were being used. The entire display was lite within 15 seconds. Four (4) of the fireworks went off, and four (4) did not. After about 10 minutes elapsed on the the remaining Big Wins was picked up off the ground and then went off, striking [REDACTED] in the eye. The left eye was removed a week later due to the injury.

Lit a Yo Yo sparkler and the whole sparkler erupted into a ball of flame and shot down into the hand holding the sparkler. This happened in less than a second. Dropped sparkler immediately. Serious burns to the hand. Went to the E.R. for treatment.

I purchased fireworks from a vendor and it created a large fire

We used Atomic Fireworks Green Energy firework. It is supposed to shoot several green lights straight up. When lit, the casing collapsed and the firework exploded. Fireballs shot out in all directions, parallel to the ground. Even though we were more than 20 feet away on a deck, several fireballs nearly hit people viewing. A large crater was left in the board we were using as a flat launch surface. It is only luck that no one was severely injured. The product was used in perfect accordance with packaging instructions and safety guidelines—the problem was entirely caused by faulty casing. The product was being used by an adult experienced in using this type of backyard firework.
