💨 Abstract

Each year, the U.S. lights up with fireworks for Independence Day, but regulations vary by state. Consumer fireworks are available in most states, but some have stricter rules or outright bans. Age limits for purchasing fireworks range from 12 to 21. Common types include roman candles, sparklers, and fountains, which must have less than 50mg of gunpowder. Fuse burn times are regulated for safety.
