Horrifying. All, if you know young ppl who will use fireworks these next few weeks, please do what you can to either discourage them entirely or make sure they use them safely. Hundreds of young ppl will be in the ER with firework injuries this month. Many of these injuries will be life altering.
I worked at CPSC in law school for a year (part of why I always enjoyed your creative messaging so much) and you really do come away with an appreciation for the dangers of fireworks!
That's awesome. Hope it was a positive experience! Yeah, I feel like it only took me a few months of working at the agency to never see products the same way again, haha.
Oh yeah it was a great job! And they were really great about giving students tours of testing facilities, etc, so I got a broad look at the work. My boss was Mary Boyle and I was really glad to see Biden appoint her as a commissioner.
