North Central Industries Recalls Fireworks Fountains Due to Burn and Injury Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

North Central Industries is recalling about 2,600 mammoth Great Grizzly brand California Candles, which were sold as a three-pack of hand-held fireworks fountains. The recall was initiated because the rear plug of the candle can dislodge while lit, which has already caused six reports of burn injuries to users holding the device. These fireworks produce crackling noises and visual effects including tulips and gold showers. They were sold at various retailers in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Oregon, and Wisconsin between May and June 2015 for approximately $15 to $25 per pack.

Risk

If the rear plug dislodges while the firework is lit, hot material can be ejected from the back of the tube, posing a direct burn and fire hazard to the person holding the device.

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled Great Grizzly brand California Candles.
  2. Check your fireworks to see if they are the 'mammoth' variety, measuring approximately 30 inches long and 2 inches in diameter with the Great Grizzly logo on the label.
