When fallen parts are accidentally eaten by animals their frames can cause internal bleeding and a slow, painful death.\r\n\r\nOn 1st July 2013, a Chinese lantern caused a massive fire at a recycling plant in the West Midlands, injuring 10 firefighters.\r\n\r\nLanterns pose a risk to the countryside, houses, animal AND humans. This petition calls for an immediate ban.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":1,"created_at":"2013-07-01T20:14:23.000Z","updated_at":"2020-02-16T19:29:14.220Z","rejected_at":"2017-06-21T12:41:54.029Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2013-07-01T20:14:23.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"rejection":{"code":"duplicate","details":null},"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[],"topics":[]}}}
