Despite their use for centuries, there has been growing concern by some about the potential danger of causing crop or building fires and even harming animals that may eat their remains. Despite the general lack of prevаlence, some places have banned them for these reasons.
The city of Sanya in China banned sky lanterns due to the hazard to aircraft and airspace navigation.
It is illegal to launch a sky lantern in most parts of Germany; where use is not illegal, as in Herford, it is necessary to obtain advance permission from local authorities.
In Austria, it is illegal to produce, sell, import, or distribute them.
In Argentina, Chile, and Colombia it is illegal to launch lanterns, as well as in Spain and Vietnam.
In Brazil, launching lanterns is an environmental crime, punishable since 1998 by up to 3 years in jail.
Retail sale (but not possession and use) of sky lanterns that "rely on an open flame to heat the air inside the lantern" was banned in Australia on 1 February 2011.
Sky lanterns have also been banned in Kittitas County, Washington, due to fire concerns, from 20 June 2013. Also Riverside County, California banns these under Fire Code (Ordinance 787).
In Washington DC, sky lanterns, also known as fire balloons or fire parachutes, have been banned since 1892.
In Great Britain the use of sky lanterns is not illegal, but notification requirements by the Civil Aviation Authority are set out in CAP 736, and endangering an aircraft is punishable with up to 2 years imprisonment and a £5,000 fine.
