UK Government Has No Plans to Regulate Chinese Lanterns

July 12, 2013 by The Bang

[dropcap]Y[/dropcap]ou may have seen in the news the report of a fire at a recycling plant near Birmingham. Initial reports suggest that a flying Chinese Lantern which was still burning could have been the cause. It is our understanding that the UK Government has no plans to ban the use of Chinese Lanterns which comply with their construction and quality guidelines. The guidelines state that the lantern should contain no metal, it should be made from flame retardant paper and should include a fully assembled non-drip high quality fuel cell.

All of our lanterns are of the highest quality and comply with all of the above requirements.

Unfortunately not all Chinese Lanterns are of the same high quality and standard as the ones we sell. As John Ruskin said ‘There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper’. Certainly that seems to be the way with Chinese Lanterns. It is easy to find them for sale on the internet at what can appear initially to be bargain prices and we have had customers who have bought ‘cheap’ Chinese Lanterns off the internet tell us how poor performing they were.

So beware when buying Chinese Lanterns. Make sure that the ones you are buying meet the governments guidelines and that you are buying from a reputable supplier.
