MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Have leftover fireworks from the Fourth you've stashed? May want to check the bunch for Yo Yo Sparklers as they have been recalled due to burn hazard.

About 651,500 sparklers are being recalled because they burn faster and with a larger flame than normal. Also, they can burn down the stick toward the users hand—which poses a burn hazard, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission's website.

Jake's Fireworks has received 12 reports of incidents of YoY o Sparklers burning rapidly down the stick towards the users' hands—resulting in second degree and third degree burns to consumers' hands.

Consumers are asked to not use the recalled sparklers and to contact Jake's Fireworks to receive a full refund, according to the CPSC.
