A mother has warned of the dangers of sparklers following a New Year’s Eve incident that left her with severe burns.
Hannah Beadnall claims sparklers she bought burst into flames as she was lighting them as she and her family prepared to enjoy the midnight countdown, as well as her son’s ninth birthday. The 31-year-old clung onto them so she could safely drop them away from her children, but in doing so she received nasty blisters to her hand, reports Teesside Live.
Despite holding on to them for just a few seconds, her injuries were that bad that she may now require a skin graft. She explained: “My friend had bought fireworks and while I was in town getting my son’s presents I went into One Beyond to get some balloons and I picked up some sparklers.
