This is TruthInTelevision. Every year people are killed and injured by accidents involving/deliberate misuse of fireworks. There are persistent efforts to restrict fireworks to organized displays only due to danger, accidents, misuse, nuisance, noise etc. There are regulations for consumer use such as in the Canadian province of Ontario, where the sale of fireworks is restricted to a few days before the holidays Victoria Day and Canada Day respectively. Pets are often traumatized by them and many pets are lost (bolting)/killed (by running into traffic etc.) by fireworks going off.
