Hazard

The burning time of the initial fuse may be too long. If there is a delay in the explosion, users may return to check the product and could get burned by an unexpected explosion. In addition, the battery is unstable and does not stay upright during functioning; it is possible that it falls on its side. If that happens, burning projectiles could hit persons, causing burns, or come into contact with flammable material, causing a fire. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Pyrotechnics Directive and the relevant European standard EN 15947.
