Fireworks Recall

Ahead of the Fourth of July weekend, almost 5,000 fireworks distributed by a Lansing company are being recalled.Officials say the Super Lightning Rockets, manufactured in China and distributed by Big Fireworks of Lansing, violate federal standards for pyrotechnics and pose a risk for burns and injuries.

The fireworks were sold at stands and shops in Michigan, Florida, Indiana, and Pennsylvania between November 2009 and June 2010.

The recall involves stick-type rockets with 1 1/2-inch in diameter engine that is mounted on 32-inch wood stick. The engine is wrapped in black paper with a background of solar system and the writing "Super Rocket," in assorted colors.

The rockets were sold in packs of four, and have item number GCR3150 printed on the front of the package and on the rocket engine.

No incidents have been reported.
