The Dominican Society of Plastic Surgery is urging parents to not allow their children to set off fireworks "of any kind." Dr. Jean Paul Giudicelli, speaking for the organization, said they are "all dangerous." Speaking at a press conference with the chiefs of plastic survery of the public hospitals Robert Reid Cabral, Salvador B. Gautier and Juan Bosch, he recalled that in the days leading to the holidays hospitals need to treat more than the normal number of burns, injuries. There is also an increase in patients requiring amputations and that suffer serious eye injuries due to the use of the fireworks.
Dr. Giudicelli says that since the government does not have adequate legislation nor capacity to police the production, import or marketing of fireworks, it is up to the parents to keep their children safe.
