BAN ALL ILLEGAL FIREWORKS

Imported From China

Aug 28, 2007

Another China product

According to an article in the Tampa Tribune the majority of all fireworks sold in the United States are imported from China. With the current ?“quality control?” situation that exist with products imported from China I don?’t believe that makes anyone feel comfortable. It was reported that the cause of the fireworks mishaps that occurred in Pinellas County on July 4th were due to malfunction of fireworks from China. It was also reported that there were ?“warnings?” released by our government regarding some faulty fireworks over the July 4th holiday.
The Tribune also reported the import of fireworks from Chine exceeded 200 million dollars this year. That?’s a significant impact on our trade deficient and for what, a product that is extremely dangerous and is a major nuisance when used in neighborhoods.
