Winco is recalling approximately 4,500 Contraband 24 canister shell fireworks kits. Some kits contain firing tubes that are too narrow, which prevents the 1 ¼ inch diameter shell from reaching the bottom. When fired, the shell can explode inside the tube instead of launching, potentially blowing a hole in the tube and scattering debris. One store employee has already suffered minor burns and cuts to their legs from a shell blowing up in a tube.
The fireworks shell can blow up inside the firing tube during use, posing severe impact and burn hazards to users and bystanders. This occurs when a narrow tube prevents the shell from being properly seated at the bottom before ignition.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fireworks kits and return them to the place of purchase to receive a full refund.
