On the eve of the nation's most pyrotechnic holiday, federal regulators have intervened to pull more than 100,000 Winco fireworks units from American hands before they can cause harm. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's recall of two products — an aerial cake device prone to tipping and a roman candle whose tubes can rupture outward — reflects the quiet, unglamorous work of prevention: stopping injury before it becomes memory. With no harm yet reported, the recall stands as a reminder that safety is most meaningful when it arrives before the moment it is needed.
