We would never even think about getting involved with fireworks! In North carolina, it is illegal to manufacture pyrotechnics. Pyrotechnics are defined as fireworks or explosives by statute. Since we are a NFPA state, fireworks are defined by NFPA 1123 and model rocket engines are defined in NFPA 1125. The two are different with no overlap. Explosives are defined by the BATFE which does not classify model rocket engines as explosives. As long as we keep our products completely separate from fireworks, we can manufacture model rocket engines in NC under the restrictions of NFPA 1125.

It would not be worth it to have any dealings with fireworks or fireworks manufacturers in other states.
