While the importation and sale of some types of sparklers are legal in Singapore, the use of sparklers should be done in a responsible manner according to the safety guidelines prescribed by the manufacturer.
Police would like to remind the public that we take a serious view of persons setting off improvised explosive devices constructed using sparklers. Such improvised explosive devices are a potential fire hazard, and causes noise pollution and undue alarm to the public. The blast effect from the explosion can also cause injury to persons and damage to property.
Anyone caught setting off improvised explosive devices may be prosecuted in Court for an offence of negligent conduct with respect to any explosive substance under Section 286 of the Penal Code Chapter 224. If convicted, the offender will be liable to an imprisonment term which may extend to one year, or fine up to S$5,000, or with both.
