Attorney General accuses Wal-Mart of selling illegal fireworks
Wal-Mart seems to have their hands full in Connecticut, where one week after they were caught violating child labor laws, they now stand accused of selling illegal fireworks:
State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal on Monday accused Wal-Mart of selling illegal fireworks in some of its Connecticut stores.Blumenthal said he has sent a letter to the retailer and the fireworks' distributor, TNT Fireworks, ordering them to take the firework, "Piccolo Petes," off store shelves.
"Sales of these dangerous devices should stop immediately," Blumenthal said. "Wal-Mart or TNT Fireworks will face legal fireworks in state court, if they defy this order."
