My son set off a party popper, aimed at the floor, so when it popped we both breathed in the fumes, can this harm him? unsure what they contain.

Party poopers: Some party poopers contain compressed air and are therefore harmless. Some contain small amounts of gunpowder, in which case a 7 year old should have no access to them, albeit little harm can be done
