Fireworks just got banned. Are people entitled to return them?
<p>My state just announced that fireworks are banned this year due to high risk of fire. Unfortunately, they announced it too late, and some tents have already opened and some people have already bought fireworks.</p>
<p>Usually, fireworks are not returnable, but I am wondering if the ban changes that.</p>
<p>I feel like normally, the answer would probably be, &quot;They were legal at the time of purchase, and they will be legal again in the future. Just put them in storage&quot; - but I think this case might be different, because the people selling the fireworks were obviously well aware that buyers were planning to use the products on July 4, 2021. They will now not be able to use them on this date.</p>
<p>Do they have to give an opportunity to return unused fireworks for a refund?</p>

<p>I can't see anything to say this is a state-wide ban.</p>

<p>The ban imposed by <a href="https://www.portlandoregon.gov/fire/news/read.cfm?id=311814#cont" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Portland Fire and Rescue</a> appears to relate to the use, not possession, of fireworks so I assume that the stores' / State's regular refund policies would apply.</p>
