Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Winco Fireworks is recalling approximately 21,000 Black Cat branded "Cat Mobile" fireworks (model BC396) because they can burst unexpectedly during use. Instead of moving safely on the ground as intended, the device can explode and spray sparks and pyrotechnic material upward and outward toward bystanders. These fireworks were sold at Pyro City, Fireworks Supermarket, and other Black Cat retailers nationwide from April 2019 through June 2019 for about $7. Consumers should immediately stop using these products and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund or exchange.

Risk

The firework can burst and malfunction, shooting sparks and burning materials into the air rather than staying on the ground. This creates a significant risk of explosion, burn injuries, and projectile hazards to anyone standing nearby.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your fireworks for the Black Cat "Cat Mobile" branding with model number BC396. The product is shaped like a black car with red headlights and features a Black Cat logo on the top and packaging.
  2. Immediately stop using any recalled Cat Mobile fireworks and do not attempt to light them.
  3. Return the recalled fireworks to the retail location where they were purchased, such as Pyro City or Fireworks Supermarket, to receive a full refund or an exchange.
