What is the danger

The product is not stable and may shoot in the wrong direction causing burns and serious injuries. Moreover, the sound pressure level is too high (measured value up to 128.5 dB). Consequently, it can cause damage to hearing. In addition, the article has a too long fuse delay. This may cause the user to walk to the article too early with the danger that fireworks could hit the user, causing injuries and/or burns. Furthermore, the fireworks may burst or release burning material outside the safety distance of 8 m or below a height of 3 m, which may result in the user being hit by the pyrotechnical effects and matter from the product. This can lead to injuries and burns. Also, the article does not extinguish after functioning within 120 seconds, which may cause fire to surrounding objects.
