They sparkle and shine, and look like lots of harmless fun – but they can get six times hotter than a pan of cooking oil. Beware of sparkler injuries this New Year's Eve.

Take action: Store sparklers and other fireworks in a closed box in a cool, dry place; always light sparklers one at a time and wear gloves; never hold a baby or child if you have a sparkler in your hand; plunge finished sparklers hot end down into a bucket of water as soon as they have burnt out; don't take sparklers to public displays.
