## Resource

Thirteen kids rushed to Children’s Mercy Hospital this summer for fireworks injuries—with nine alone on the Fourth of July. Smoke bombs, firecrackers, sparklers, and even shooting fireworks caused harm, and three of those injuries involved eyes. It’s a stark reminder: even small fireworks can cause serious damage. Stay safe, stay aware, and when in doubt, skip the spark.
