A Swiss bar employee reportedly held a sparkler unaware of the dangers involved, according to the employee’s family. The incident took place at a bar in Geneva last Saturday evening. The young employee, whose name has not been disclosed, was celebrating a customer’s birthday when they decided to light a sparkler.
The family of the employee stated that the individual was not aware of the potential hazards associated with sparklers, as they come from a region where such items are not commonly used. The sparkler ignited unexpectedly, causing minor burns to the employee’s hand. Emergency services were called to the scene, and the individual received medical treatment for their injuries.
The bar’s management expressed regret over the incident, emphasizing that the safety of their staff and customers is of utmost importance. They confirmed that sparklers are no longer allowed on the premises as a precautionary measure.
Authorities have not pressed any charges in connection with the incident, considering it an unfortunate accident. The employee is currently recovering and is expected to return to work once fully healed.
Both the family and the bar management have highlighted the need for awareness regarding the potential risks of seemingly harmless items like sparklers, especially for those unfamiliar with their use.
