PRAIRIE VILLAGE- A northeast Kansas fireworks importer, Winco Fireworks International LLC, of Prairie Village is recalling a brand of shell fireworks.
This recall involves Contraband 24 fireworks kits with canister shells and firing tubes that are designed to be used multiple times.
Shells are put into each tube one by one and lit. The shells are about 1 ¼inches in diameter. The tubes in some kits may be too narrow and not allow the shell to drop to the bottom of the tube when loaded.
The firm has received two reports of the firing tubes being too narrow, including one report of a shell blowing up in a tube and causing minor burns and cuts to the legs.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fireworks kits and return them to the place of purchase to receive a full refund.
