Party Favors Could Injure Kids

Following an injury to a child, Prince William County's fire department is warning parents about a common party favor.

The favors, commonly called "party snaps" or "party poppers," are designed to make a small bang when thrown against the ground. However, a young student was injured by one after they were passed around an elementary school.

Fire Battalion Chief Curtis Brodie says party snaps should not be used by kids without adult supervision.

Good Lord, can we just get back to cherry bombs and quarter sticks? Less injuries back then since they were sold with injury warnings. Crap today won't hurt a fly, but since flies can't sue, somebody finds a way to get hurt for the money....
