It's a red hot bit of metal that kids hold and wave about, can't think of many household items like that which people willingly give to kids.

My family have been using sparklers for at least 35 years (i.e since I was a small kid) and we have never been burned. But then my kids know to wear gloves, not to mess about with them, and put them in the bucket of water when they have finished.
If people get burned then I would put money on them not following safe practices in handelling them, which is hardly the fault of the sparklers. They are perfectly safe if used properly.
