When shopping for fireworks, you may come across terms like 1.4G, 1.3G, or Class C — but what do they actually mean? Understanding these categories is essential for choosing the right products and using them safely.

At Elevated Fireworks, we’re here to help break it down so you can shop smart and celebrate safely.


🎇 What Are 1.4G Fireworks?

1.4G fireworks (formerly known as Class C) are consumer-grade fireworks that are legal for public use in many states across the U.S. These are the fireworks you typically find at retail stores, firework stands, or online — and they’re designed for safe use by non-professionals.

They include items like:

  • Aerial repeaters and cakes
  • Canister shells
  • Roman candles
  • Sparklers and fountains
  • Smoke bombs and novelty items

🧨 What’s the Difference Between 1.4G and 1.3G?

Category Use Who Can Use Examples
1.4G Consumer fireworks General public Aerial cakes, shells, fountains
1.3G Display/professional fireworks Licensed professionals only Mortars, display shells, large rockets

1.3G fireworks (formerly Class B) contain more explosive material and are reserved for professional shows. They’re typically used in city-sponsored displays or large-scale events.


🔥 Are 1.4G Fireworks Safe?

Yes — when used responsibly and according to instructions, 1.4G fireworks are safe for consumer use. Always:

  • Follow all local laws
  • Read warning labels and directions
  • Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby
  • Supervise children at all times
