The National Business Association of Colombia (ANDI) has issued a safety warning in Bogotá regarding the use of balloons inflated with hydrogen ahead of the Amor y Amistad celebration in September. The association highlighted that these hydrogen-filled balloons pose a severe risk of causing serious burns, prompting heightened safety concerns during a period expected to drive significant commercial activity, including extended hours for restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues.
While the celebration is anticipated to heavily boost local commerce and social gatherings across the city, the safety alert underscores the recurring hazards associated with unsafe party materials during high-traffic festivities.
