Lantern Safety

• Unpack lanterns in a safe environment, away from any sources of ignition. Take care not to tear the delicate paper.
• Read and fully understand the safety advice & launching instructions that comes with the lanterns.
• Wear gloves and flame retardent clothing.
• Have a bucket of water and/or fire extinguisher handy.
• Children in the launch area must be kept under strict supervision at all times.
• No persons under the influence of alcohol should be involved in the handling or igniting of the lanterns.
• Never smoke while handling the lanterns.
• Check wind speed and ensure that the wind is not stronger than 5 mph.
• Check wind direction and ensure that the flight path is clear and lanterns will not drift into buildings or trees.
• Do not release within 5 miles of an airport.
• Never use near airports, roads, dry standing crops, or in places where they may be misinterpreted as a distress signal.
• Remember that each lantern is quite large, is a potential fire hazard, and has to land somewhere.
• Never tether wedding lanterns, this often prevents the unit from remaining upright as the wind blows, causing the casing to ignite.
• Glo-Lanterns are safe when used correctly but are not toys and should not be used by children.
