Reported risk: The firework battery could fall over during lighting. This could lead to injuries and/or burns to the user or to bystanders. Moreover, due to the flash powder composition used, the surrounding cardboard sheath is not able to withstand the increased pressure build-up, it can rip apart and burn. This could lead to a fire. Additionally, the sound pressure level is too high (measured values up to 140 dB). Consequently, it can cause damage to hearing.
