What this means for you

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 (explosion and burn hazards) where no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria in the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Wholesale Fireworks is recalling approximately 1,700 units of Toxic artillery rockets, Boom Box aerial shells, and Detonator firecrackers. The recalled products were sold in Wyoming from June 2017 through August 2017 for between $13 and $90. The fireworks were manufactured in China.

The recall is being issued because the fireworks are overloaded with pyrotechnics intended to produce an audible effect, which violates federal regulatory standards. This overload can result in a greater than expected explosion, posing burn and explosion hazards to consumers. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fireworks and contact Wholesale Fireworks for a full refund. The company can be reached toll-free at 855-534-3473 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT any day, or by email at [email protected].
