I would be curious if this product carried the AFSL sticker on the case.

ABC.

Always Brace Cakes, especially 200 gram cakes. They are all likely to fall over but the smaller they the more easily they tip.

I had a bunch of these cakes this year for the 4th of July. They were really cool cakes with whistle and color breaks. I didn't have any of them tip over, but I always do brace my cakes after a few scary tip-overs years ago.

Of course we all know these 200 gram cakes are prone to tip over , particularly when setup on grass. Who knows, I have seen defective fireworks multiple times. I have some on video. It would be interesting to hear how some of these make it to official recall status.
If you look at the recall number on this one cake it is 36,500 units. If you mathematically reverse engineer that number and multiple it times how many products this brand has out there. You can probably further use that number to calculate average sales in one year.
What exactly happens to a recalled 1.4 Consumer Fireworks item? This was one of the things the old owner of Fireart had a contract to do. Destroy fireworks.
