Plastic surgeons at the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead are supporting a campaign to change the packaging of fireworks.
A number of patients from across the South East of England injured by fireworks, have required reconstructive surgery from specialist surgeons at the Hospital. The Queen Victoria Hospital is a leading specialist centre for reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation.
The surgeons are lending their support to the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons’ campaign calling on the government to include mandatory warning notices on all fireworks packaging, similar to those found on cigarette packets. They hope that this will reduce the number of people requiring reconstructive surgery, primarily to their hands and face after misusing sparklers or fireworks.
