December 20, 2017 — About 56,200 of the Jumbo Fireworks “Surprise Fountain” have been recalled because they contain too much pyrotechnics, posing a burn and explosion hazard to consumers.
The recall was issued by Matrix Fireworks Inc. of Wahpeton, North Dakota.
The recalled fireworks are overloaded with pyrotechnics that produce a loud noise, in violation of federal law. In addition, they are labeled as “fountains” but function more like an M-80 or other large firecracker.
According to the recall notice posted by the CPSC:
“Overloaded fireworks can result in a greater than expected explosion, posing burn and explosion hazards to consumers. The product is labeled as a fountain but functions similar to an M-80 or other large firecracker, which are illegal.”
