Fireworks Ban Sought by NSPB Against All Fireworks
The National Society for the Prevention of Blindness launches a nationwide campaign to ban all fireworks including safe-and-sane types. It mails appeals to 110 newspapers urging editors to press the FDA to ban items with more than two grains. FDA plans to limit sales and crack down on bootleg fireworks after July Fourth. The NSPB cites injuries and deaths in a 27 page report and argues Class C fire crackers cause major harm. FDA notes eight deaths and 41 injuries from larger Class B devices between 1967 and 1970.
