Plain-English summary

Miller Fireworks, of Holland, Ohio, is recalling approximately 3,800 units of ball bullet rocket fireworks (model LB6103) and M-150 cracker fireworks (model LA150B). The recalled rocket fireworks were sold in bags of four with four different colors, while the cracker fireworks were sold in yellow/orange boxes of 36. The model numbers are printed on the packaging.

The recall is due to the fireworks being overloaded with pyrotechnics intended to produce an audible effect, which violates federal regulatory requirements. This overload can result in a greater than expected explosion, posing burn and explosion hazards to consumers. Additionally, the fireworks are banned hazardous substances prohibited from sale under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act (FHSA).

The products were sold from May 2017 through June 2018 for between $4 and $13 at Fremont Fireworks stores in Indiana, Miller Fireworks and J&W Fireworks stores in Ohio, and Red Falcon Fireworks and Rocky's Fireworks stores in Michigan. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fireworks and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. For more information, contact Miller Fireworks toll-free at 833-474-1776 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Saturday, or visit www.millerfireworks.com.
