Product description
This recall involves the Jumbo Fireworks "Surprise Fountain." The recalled fireworks were sold individually and have product code JFG4279 printed on the front panel above the cautionary text.

"Jumbo Fireworks," "Surprise Fountain," "Warning" and an image of fountains with happy faces are printed on the front.
Reason for recall
The recalled fireworks are overloaded with pyrotechnics intended to produce an audible effect, violating the federal regulatory standard for this product. Overloaded fireworks can result in a greater than expected explosion, posing burn and explosion hazards to consumers. The product is labeled as a fountain but functions similar to an M-80 or other large firecracker, which are illegal.
Remedy, what to do
Consumers should not use the recalled fireworks and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
