These things are really cool and very beautiful. Sadly, they are horrible fire hazzards. These should not be used out West, where the's been lots of drout. At least not until the rains/snow return. If they fall while still burning or even just smoking, they could light up the backcountry easily. Not worth the negative possibilities. Maybe after there's been snow on the ground can you consider this, otherwise, let China burn, not California.

I agree with 1, very dangerous. Please use caution.
yup, i could see these starting a forest fire and burning down peoples houses.
Just in time for the campaign fire season in California...
