Injuries on Easter days, from crackers They have shown for another year, the problem that exists with their possession that even leads minors seriously injured in hospitals. The problem, as it turns out, holds for decades, and from October 13, 1976, the legislator, with 10 articles, has defined the legal framework for crackers and those who are marketing or holding them.
