Despite a shortage of firework products due to domestic supply chain problems in the U.S., the total weight of fireworks sold in the country still hit a record 404.5 million pounds (183.5 million kilograms) last year, with almost all of its backyard consumer fireworks and two-thirds of professional display products manufactured in China, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association.
