What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (fireworks) where injury has not yet been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria for products posing burn and injury hazards without confirmed incidents.

Plain-English summary

Jake's Fireworks Inc. is recalling approximately 4,000 units of March or Die Mine/Shell Fireworks Devices. The recalled products are 500-gram mine/shell devices consisting of nine 3-inch tubes with a single fuse for ignition. The devices measure 16 inches by 16 inches by 13 inches and are packaged in a dark blue cardboard box with the words "March or Die" printed in red.

The recall was issued because the tubes on these fireworks devices could become loose, making the devices unstable during use. If the device tips over during use, it could pose burn and injury hazards to bystanders. No injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.

The fireworks were sold by World Class Distributors nationwide from April 2006 through May 2006 for $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Jake's Fireworks for a replacement product.
