CNN Video(CNN) - With Independence Day drawing near, a recent tragedy and subsequent recall highlight the possible dangers of rockets and other explosives: Grandma's Fireworks in Indiana recalled 18 products, totaling 25,000 individual fireworks, after an explosion caused a boy to lose his hand, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said this week. The recalled fireworks are overloaded with pyrotechnics, which produce a loud noise and have been known to result in a greater than expected explosion. Overloading fireworks violates the federal regulatory standard for this product, according to the safety commission, which is charged with protecting public safety. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigated the fireworks, which were made in China and sold by Grandma's Fireworks from January 2009 through April. Chris Hannon, co-owner of Grandma's, told WLWT that she was "crushed" by the boys' injuries.
