NEW JERSEY FIREWORKS LAWS

Fireworks are not just dangerous in New Jersey, they are illegal. Each year, many people are treated in hospital emergency rooms resulting from the use of fireworks. Once again, we are

entering the fireworks season, and I would like to acquaint you with New Jersey's fireworks laws. New Jersey's laws on fireworks, N.J.S.A. 21:2-1 et seq. and N.J.S.A. 21:3-1 et seq., are very restrictive. In some states, fireworks are permitted to be sold to, and used by, the public. However, in New Jersey, only paper or plastic caps for use in toy guns are legal.

Sparkler and novelty items, such as cigarette loads, trick matches, trick noise makers, smoke grenades, toy propellants, snap & pops, champagne poppers, as well as firecrackers, roman

candles, rockets, etc., are illegal in this state. Do not be fooled by a salesperson who tries to tell you that they are authorized to be sold by the consumer products safety commission, or sold by mail order houses, or are permitted to be sold in other states, or are permitted to be shipped by the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Again...the only fireworks that can be legally used in New Jersey are paper and plastic caps for toy cap guns.

The fireworks laws are jointly enforced by the municipalities and the New Jersey Department of Labor and Workforce Development. The law states that the sale, or possession of fireworks, with the intent to sell, is a crime of the fourth degree. Any person found guilty of possessing fireworks, including sparklers, with the intention of selling them, can be fined up to $7,500.00 and/or imprisoned up to 18 months. Any person found using fireworks can be fined up to $500.00 and/or imprisoned for up to 30 days.
