"Tips for blowing things up without blowing yourself up to part four. All right Take a look at the US Consumer Product Safety Commission recall list This tip is more for future years because I'm about to give you all three for this year's But hopefully it lets you know that this is out there The Consumer Product Safety Commission is a government-run organization that collects safety data on products So if somebody has already blown themselves up because of a faulty firework Then you can check this list and avoid being the next person to blow themselves up All right up first for 2026 one of our three recalls. This is the Winco fireworks unity This is one of those ones you supposedly set on the ground sets off a whole bunch of little things Typically, these are legal even in states without mortars. This one apparently tends to fall over shooting those things all around in every direction Yeah, always make sure you have a stable base for fireworks. This one apparently doesn't come with one Next up we got also made by Winco Roman candles Never hold a Roman candle. They look like they should be held Tempting this happens a lot especially with teenage boys, but it's not a great idea These ones in particular have already been documented to Explode in a way where you don't have that nice linear progression down the stem of the candle like it's supposed to go Instead they kind of explode out the side. So doubly risky if someone decides to hold one of these Okay, last one made by Bada boom, this is the Diablo rising This one is being recalled because incorrect charge sizes were manufactured So this one is actually a larger charge size than is legal for sale in the United States Please don't use that to go try and find one. I feel like some people might get the wrong message from that But yeah, it sets off a bigger boom than it should so that's not great for those who have not been doing the math On the fly. That is a total of one hundred and one thousand six hundred and eighty faulty fireworks that are already sold and in Distribution around the United States you are entitled to a refund for these because they have been recalled So just do not set them off take them back to the place you purchased them get your money back and keep your fingers"
