#2 "Run Hadji Run"

Anybody stupid enough to put such a name on an item for public consumption is either stupid enough to need five fellow masterminds or asking for exactly the kind of trouble they got. In private speech you can insult anyone you want, but when it comes to business, insulting potential customers is a good way to end up bankrupt. The manufacturer could have as easily called the item "ARCLIGHT" or "Daisycutter" to communicate the visual effect, without angering people like me.

Yes, I'd refuse to buy anything from a shop that carried such merchandise, and I'd tell everyone I know. How many sales have Red Rhino Fireworks and Fireworks City lost, I wonder?

#3 It's a legacy product from a corporate acquisition.

The company that imported the fireworks from China, Missouri-based Red Rhino Fireworks, said that they are at least three years old and were distributed by the firm's previous owners But they are still listed in the company's online catalog, which said they send off 16 red, green and blue "strobe comets" over a period of 28 seconds.

Management dropped the ball big time on this one.
