Danger:
Burns and Damage to hearing
The product poses a risk of damage to hearing because the flashover of the ignition is too fast and the start of the function is almost immediate therefore the protective distance of 8 metres cannot be observed.
The product poses a risk of burns because the 100-round firework rocket has two covered fuses instead of ignition cords (leading outwards).
The product does not comply with the Directive 2007/23/EC on pyrotechnic articles and the relevant European standard EN 15947.
