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.
