Plain-English summary
Starr Display Fireworks is voluntarily recalling approximately 150,000 #100, #200, and #300 four-shot rack fireworks display devices. These devices consist of four tall mortar tubes mounted on a wooden board with a connecting single fuse. The affected units were manufactured from 1987 to June 1993 and retailed for approximately $40.
The recall is being issued because the devices may tip over during operation, causing them to fire their charges horizontally or at various angles. This malfunction presents a risk of death or serious injury to persons nearby. While the CPSC is not aware of incidents involving these specific devices, the Commission notes that two deaths have occurred involving similar devices that tipped over and struck victims.
Consumers are urged to stop using these fireworks devices immediately. They should return the devices to the stores or stands where they were purchased for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Starr Display Fireworks at (701) 428-3626.
