This report provides the results of the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) staff analysis of data on fireworks-related deaths and injuries during 2004. The report also includes a summary of CPSC enforcement activities during that year. We obtained information on fireworks-related deaths primarily from news clippings and other sources in CPSC's Injury/Potential Injury Incident (IPII) database. estimated fireworks-related injuries from CPSC's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS). More detailed analyses of injuries including the type of injury and the firework involved, and the characteristics of the victim were based on a special study conducted between June 19 and July 19, 2004. About 70 percent of the annual fireworks-related injuries for 2004 occurred during that period.
