Summary

GS Fireworks is recalling approximately 260 units of 26 different types of consumer fireworks, including artillery shells, cakes, and Roman candles. These products are overloaded with pyrotechnics that exceed federal safety limits, which can cause a much larger explosion than consumers would expect. No injuries have been reported to date. These fireworks were sold exclusively at GS Fireworks in Wyoming, Michigan, between March and May 2018.

Risk

The fireworks contain an excessive amount of pyrotechnic material intended to produce noise, violating federal regulatory standards. This overload can lead to an unexpectedly powerful explosion, resulting in severe burn injuries or fire hazards to anyone nearby.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your firework by checking the brand name, product name, and item number printed on the outside wrapping of the product.
  2. Immediately stop using any of the 26 affected fireworks, such as Universal 1.25" Artillery Shells (W5016(B)), Sin City Burning Aces (SC5G-1501), or Yeti Shrooms (YT5026).
  3. Return the recalled fireworks to GS Fireworks in Wyoming, Michigan, to receive a full refund.
