Fireworks: official safety alerts report, Q3 2026
Preliminary: authorities publish some alerts weeks after their date, so these numbers may still change until 21 October 2026. After that this edition is frozen.
60 official alerts and recalls concerned fireworks in the 12 months to 30 September 2026: 57 from EU Safety Gate and 3 from US CPSC. There were 11 in Q3 2026, down from 16 in Q2 2026. In the 12 months before, there were 28.
Read from the official risk descriptions, the most common reason was fireworks behave dangerously (100%), followed by too flammable (52%) and too loud for hearing (28%). too flammable rose from 18% of alerts in the previous 12 months to 52%.
87% were made in China. 7% of the EU alerts were marked as sold online and 0% name an online marketplace.
The authorities of Netherlands (33), Denmark (18) and Belgium (5) filed the most alerts. The most common measure was recalled from consumers (65% of EU alerts); 89% were ordered by an authority rather than taken voluntarily.

Counts are official EU Safety Gate alerts and US CPSC recalls in the 12 months to the end of the quarter, by publication date. Reasons, product types and marketplaces are read from the official records as described in the methodology. An alert records an authority's action on one product; counts measure regulatory attention, not how safe a product type, brand or platform is. Methodology →
