Just because fireworks are available for purchasing doesn't mean they are legal to set off anywhere you want.

Inside the Pulaski city limits, for instance, shooting fireworks is illegal, says Pulaski Fire Chief Don Collins. He said the only exception is a public display, like the one planned for the Fourth of July celebration Monday night at the Pulaski Recreation Center.

Different kinds of fireworks are available but smoke fireworks sold at Walmart, Target and other retailers have been recalled because the can explode unexpectedly when lit.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says three people have been burned by the TNT Red, White, & Blue smoke fireworks. They were sold in a bag containing three canisters: one red, one blue and one white.

Each smoke firework is a cardboard cylinder tube that is about one inch in diameter and five inches long. The TNT logo, “Red, White & Blue Smoke” and UPC number 027736036561 appear on the packaging.

Consumers should contact TNT Fireworks for a full refund.
