Fireworks recall

TNT Red, White, & Blue Smoke fireworks have been recalled.

(CPSC)

A batch of fireworks are being recalled due to unexpected explosions, causing injuries.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall for 36,100 units of TNT Red, White & Blue Smoke fireworks. The products are designed to create smoke, but some were found to "rapidly dispel from the bottom of the tube in an explosive manner posing a burn hazard."

Three people reportedly suffered burns due to unintended explosions after being lit.

The fireworks are manufactured by Alabama-based American Promotional Events, Inc.-TNT Fireworks, and sold nationwide at retail stores including Target, Walmart and others.

Affected products were sold between May and June of this year in four states: Ohio, Illinois, Vermont and Wisconsin. The packaging includes the TNT logo, the name "Red, White and Blue Smoke," item No. 351064 and UPC No. 027736036561.
