Bans
The use of aerosol string products has been banned in several places for various reasons.
It has been banned in the city of Ridgewood, New Jersey and a number of other places, and also at some public gatherings and events. The town board of Huntington in Long Island banned the sale of Silly String within 1,500 feet (460 m) of the route of a parade. In 2001, the town of Middleborough, Massachusetts banned Silly String; offenders face a $300 fine.
In 2004, Los Angeles Mayor James Hahn signed a council-backed ordinance (LAMC Section 56.02) to ban aerosol string in Hollywood on Halloween night. The ordinance calls for a maximum $1000 fine and/or six months in jail for use, possession, sale or distribution of aerosol string in Hollywood from 12:00 am on October 31 to 12:00 pm on November 1, a 36-hour time period.
