More than 100,000 July 4 fireworks recalled over explosion hazards

Winco Fireworks International is recalling more than 100,000 fireworks products sold across the United States after federal safety officials said the items could unexpectedly explode and cause burn injuries.

The US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall on July 2, covering approximately 87,120 Unity 7 Shot 200 Gram Aerial Cake fireworks and about 13,500 Roman Candles 8 Shot 3-Pack fireworks imported by the Grandview, Missouri-based company.

Regulators said the recalled Unity 7 Shot 200 Gram Aerial Cake fireworks may tip over while being used, creating a serious risk of explosions and burns.

A separate recall applies to the Roman Candles 8 Shot 3-Pack fireworks, which can malfunction and send shots through the side of the tube, presenting similar explosion and burn dangers.

The CPSC said no incidents or injuries have been reported involving either recalled product.

The Unity fireworks, sold under model number MEF6096, came in red, white and blue packaging marked “Unity” and decorated with American flag imagery.

They were sold from January through May 2026 at Pyro City locations and other independent fireworks retailers nationwide, priced between $6 and $8.

The Roman Candles, model RCLR-W8012, were packaged in red, white and blue “Hometown” wrapping featuring American flag designs.

They were available at Pyro City stores and other fireworks retailers nationwide from April through June 2026 for between $17 and $19.

Both products were manufactured in China and imported by Winco.

The CPSC urged consumers to stop using the recalled fireworks immediately and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.

Refunds will be issued either in cash or to the consumer’s original form of payment.

Consumers seeking more information can contact Winco by email at cade@wincofireworks.com or through the company’s product safety recall information online.

Federal law prohibits the sale of products that are subject to a Commission-ordered recall or a voluntary recall conducted in cooperation with the CPSC.

The Post has sought comment from Winco.
