Unknown · Sky lantern - Himmelslaterne

The product poses a risk of fire because sky lanterns are flying balloons with a burner inside to generate hot air. When the lantern is in the air, it is not possible to predict its direction. It is then very difficult or impossible to avoid the lantern coming into contact with flammable material, e.g. dry vegetation or buildings.
