fireworks burn injury lawsuitDue to a burn injury hazard, a burn injury product recall has been issued for Super Lightning Rocket Fireworks by Big Fireworks, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, (CPSC).

These rockets are “overloaded with pyrotechnic composition,” according to the CPSC warning.
