Hazard:
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 explosion and burn hazards to consumers.
The fireworks lovers will see this as national free advertising.  They don't approve of the noise limits and the bigger the better.  While the company probably can't sell any more on the legit market, they will be in big demand in the more shadowy exchanges.
