Supermarket giant Sainsbury's is no longer selling fireworks at their stores.
As Bonfire Night approaches, the supermarket revealed it has banned them from all stores.
A Sainsbury’s spokesperson said the decision was based on a range of factors but would not reveal why there has been a sudden change.
They said: "Fireworks are no longer available in our stores but customers can continue to choose from a range of seasonal products, such as glow sticks and light up spinning wands."
The run-up to Bonfire Night can be a stressful time for pets, wildlife and the elderly and vulnerable.
There are of course the dangers around setting off fireworks.
Even sparklers, which little ones love, can reach 2,000°C – more than 15 times the boiling point of water.
It is against the law for anyone to set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am but the exceptions are on Bonfire Night, when the cut off is midnight and New Year’s Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, when the cut off is 1am.
Fireworks must not be sold to anyone who is under 18 and it is against the law to carry fireworks in public if you're under 18.
You must not set off or throw fireworks (including sparklers) in the street or other public places.
There aren't laws against bonfires, but there are laws for the nuisance they can cause. Visit www.gov.uk/garden-bonfires-rules if you are thinking of lighting a garden bonfire.
