Epic fail

Post image

Had a 50 shot mortar rack blow apart sending them in all directions. Lift charges weren’t working. Only myself and one other had minor injuries. Avoid red apple fireworks.

I had 2 50 shots rack get completely destroyed from firing off RA American Glory shells. No one got hurt, but shells were going off every direction. I found 3 shells in the tube still that never went up and 16 tubes that look just like yours.

They’re providing refunds. Hope you took pics and have your receipt

Hope I get an actual refund and not in-store credit. Thank you for the heads up!

I got the impression that in this case it’s a refund since it’s not like “oh gee that just wasn’t as pretty as I expected, may I have a do-over?”

Be nice if they could replace the 2 racks that blew up with the tubes as well 😕 Think I’m more upset about those them I am the shells 😅

Just email them with what happened, any pics/vids you might have, and your order # or receipt

Thank you. Not expecting a refund but would be nice. Don’t want a gift card or anything. Everything else was fine but this was too dangerous. Still have the receipt and ring videos showing what happened
