Party Popper Burns Local Child Sparks Fireworks Worries
Wilbur Alexander of Johnson Street reports his 10 year old daughter Martha was burned on the right cheek by a Party Popper sold in a local store. The device, plastic and bottle shaped, fires confetti when the neck string is pulled. Authorities note the city ordinance is vague and state law exempts caps with under .25 grams powder. The store removed the item. calls to police and legal adviser James Tennant say prosecution is unlikely without an amended ordinance.
