Firework safety rule lowers firecracker powder limit to 50 mg
The U S Consumer Product Safety Commission finalizes a March 4 1976 decision reducing permissible firecracker powder to 50 milligrams with new performance standards and labeling for fireworks. The rule allows only small firecrackers called ladyfingers and sets fuse burn times between three and six seconds. The order does not remove existing state bans or affect organized displays and takes effect 180 days after publication. Public supervision during the Bicentennial season urged.
