Top 5 Safety Myths About Fireworks Busted: What Every Sivakasi Shopper Should Know (2025)

Despite clear safety guidelines, many myths about fireworks still circulate in Sivakasi and across Tamil Nadu. Believing these misconceptions can put your festivities—and your family—at risk. Today’s blog from Crackers Akshayaa (Akshayaa Agencies) debunks the top five most common fireworks safety myths so you can celebrate with confidence and peace of mind.

Myth 1: Sparklers are Safe for All Ages

Reality:

Sparklers burn at high temperatures (up to 2,000°C) and can easily cause burns, especially in children. Always supervise young users, make them hold sparklers at arm’s length, and never allow toddlers to handle them alone.

Myth 2: Eco-Friendly Crackers Mean No Risks

Reality:

Green crackers reduce smoke and noise but still contain combustible materials. Handle them with the same caution and follow all storage and usage instructions.

Myth 3: Lighting Fireworks Indoors is Safe if You Have Ventilation

Reality:

Fireworks should NEVER be lit indoors—even with open windows or fans. Use only outdoor, open spaces away from structures, vehicles, and trees.

Myth 4: Used or Dud Crackers Can Be Relit

Reality:

Never attempt to relight a cracker that didn't go off (“dud”). Wait for at least 15 minutes and then soak it in water before safely disposing of it.

Myth 5: Buying from Any Street Vendor is Fine as Long as the Crackers Look Intact

Reality:

Always purchase from licensed, authorized dealers like Crackers Akshayaa (Akshayaa Agencies). Street vendors might sell old, damp, or illegally manufactured fireworks that are more likely to malfunction or cause accidents.
