I am pretty sure this is the story that victor is talking about..
THE work safety authority in central China's Hunan Province today ordered producers of firecrackers and fireworks in Liling City to halt production until work situations improve, Xinhua news agency said.
The decision was on the heels of a string of work safety accidents in the city recently.
Since May, five accidents have happened in the industry, killing 12 people. The number accounted for 67 percent of the province's total death toll from firecracker and fireworks production accidents.
