[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2][b]John Dimsdale:[/b] Sales of backyard fireworks have more than doubled since 2000 and injuries, as a percentage of sales, are way down. [/size][/font]
[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]What a change from the early '90s, when government inspectors found three-fourths of all imported fireworks didn't meet federal standards.[/size][/font]

[font=Bookman Old Style][size=2]The CPSC says lab-certified fireworks usually pass government spot-check inspections, but around 20 percent of the fireworks in the U.S. bypass the lab and aren't inspected.[/size][/font]
