Keystone Fireworks stores across Pennsylvania have recalled G-Force artillery shell fireworks for violating the federal regulatory requirements for the product, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced.

The recalled fireworks are overloaded with pyrotechnics intended to produce an audible effect and can result in a greater than expected explosion, posing burn hazards to consumers. The fireworks are banned hazardous substances and are prohibited from being sold under the Federal Hazardous Substances Act.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fireworks and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Keystone's Pennsylvania locations are in Bradford, Lancaster, Gettysburg, Matamoras, Greencastle, Nottingham and Wilkes-Barre.
