The fireworks may burst or release burning material outside the safety distance of 8 m or below a height of 3 m, causing burns. The fireworks may burst or release burning material over an extended period of time after functioning. The user might reignite the product, which may result in the user being hit by the pyrotechnical effects and matter from the product. This can lead to fire, burns and damage to sight. The user may bring the product inside and it may release burning material in the building. Consequently, this poses a risk of asphyxiation.
