PITTSBURGH, July 2  /PRNewswire/ -- Independence Day fun can quickly turn
tragic if people don't take the proper safety precautions when igniting
fireworks such as bottle rockets, firecrackers and other products.

According to the United States Eye Injury Registry, approximately 12,000 people
in this country are treated in emergency rooms for firework-related injuries,
and 2,000 of those involve injuries to the eyes.

MSA Safety Works, the fastest growing brand of consumer safety products,
encourages all individuals to refrain from igniting store-bought fireworks and
attend only professional fireworks displays.  If a person plans to ignite
store-bought fireworks, they should wear OSHA approved safety glasses to
protect their eyes.  These ANSI-rated high-impact safety glasses are available
at The Home Depot and other major home improvement stores.

MSA Safety Works wants everyone to stay safe this and every weekend. That's why
the company has created the Safety Squad, a team of experts that travels from
city to city -- educating consumers, contractors and landscapers about safety. 
The Squad travels in the MSA Safety Works Safety Bug, a VW Beetle customized as
the world's largest hardhat.

MSA Safety Works full line of safety glasses is available at
