Illegal fireworks can look very much like legal fireworks.  If they do not have the California State Fire Marshal Safe and Sane seal on the them, the fireworks are illegal. 

If you purchase fireworks from an individual on a website, like Craigslist or Facebook more than likely, these fireworks are illegal and are subject to a citation.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIRE MARSHAL'S SEAL

This is the State of California Fire Marshal's Seal that goes on every safe and sane firework sold in California.  If this symbol is not visible, it is an illegal firework.

Este es el Sello del Mariscal de Bomberos del Estado de California que va en todos los fuegos artificiales seguros y sanos vendidos en California. Si este símbolo no es visible, es un fuego artificial ilegal.
