Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Matrix Fireworks is recalling about 56,200 Jumbo Fireworks "Surprise Fountain" devices because they are overloaded with pyrotechnics. While labeled as a fountain, these devices function like illegal large firecrackers and can produce a much larger explosion than expected. Consumers should stop using these fireworks immediately and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. No injuries have been reported at this time.

Risk

The fireworks contain an excessive amount of explosive material intended to create a loud sound, which violates federal safety standards. This can lead to a powerful, unexpected explosion that poses severe burn and explosion hazards to anyone nearby.
