Illegal DM Sales of Fireworks Growing Says NY Official

Posted on by Chief Marketer Staff

Direct marketing of illegal fireworks has been growing at an alarming rate, according to New York Secretary of State Lorraine Cortes-Vazquez. It’s done mostly with direct mail flyers and via Internet sales.

New York is one of five states where all the use of all consumer fireworks has been banned.

Nationwide, 10,800 fireworks-related injuries were treated in emergency rooms in 2005, with nearly half the victims under age 15. Two-thirds of all injuries were caused by sparklers, firecrackers and bottle rockets, according to various government agencies.
