At Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, during and before Tet, the number of accidents caused by homemade fireworks always increases. The main causes are often from buying illegal fireworks of unknown origin, accessing unofficial information on social networks and making fireworks yourself. These accidents not only cause serious physical injuries but also leave serious psychological and financial consequences for patients and their families.

Doctors recommend that people do not arbitrarily manufacture or use illegal fireworks, especially homemade fireworks. This is not only a violation of the law but also poses a risk of causing serious injury, even affecting life. People need to raise awareness, absolutely do not buy, sell or use illegal fireworks and need to guide their children to stay away from these dangerous actions to protect the safety of themselves and the community.
