During the year-end festive season, when demand for consumer fireworks rises sharply, the market also sees various practices that exploit the reputation of Z121 Factory – Ministry of National Defence, such as selling counterfeit goods, inflating prices, or making misleading claims. These acts not only harm consumers’ rights but also pose serious safety risks during use. Therefore, Z121 is rolling out a strong communication campaign to help the public understand correctly, choose the right products, and use fireworks safely and legally.

Z121 fireworks – Legal products with certified quality

Under Decree No. 137/2020/NĐ-CP, people are permitted to use non-explosive fireworks manufactured by Z121. As the only unit licensed by the Ministry of National Defence, Z121 carries out the entire production process to defense-grade standards—from firework compositions and packaging to quality inspection. Every product undergoes strict checks before reaching the market, ensuring clear origin, consistent quality, and the highest level of safety. This credibility has unfortunately led some individuals to impersonate the brand for illegal profit.

Warning against counterfeits and risks from unregulated products

Recently, counterfeit fireworks imitating Z121-style packaging have appeared on the market, lacking key identification features, with poor quality and no safety control. Such products may contain substandard compositions, increasing the risk of explosion or burns during use. Consumers should be especially cautious of sellers without clear addresses or enticing online offers, which are often associated with fake or unsafe products.

How to identify genuine products and avoid risks

Z121 applies multiple security layers to each product to help consumers distinguish genuine items from counterfeits. Authentic packaging is sharply printed and includes full legal information, product codes, usage instructions, anti-counterfeit seals, and QR codes for traceability. When purchasing, consumers should carefully check these details and prioritize stores officially listed by Z121, where prices are publicly posted and quality is guaranteed.

Selling at the right price – A responsibility of the distribution system

Z121 requires all stores and authorized dealers in its distribution network not to arbitrarily raise prices or impose unauthorized fees. Compliance with listed prices protects customers’ rights and preserves brand credibility. If consumers detect overpricing, coercive sales, or other fraudulent behaviors, they can report them via Z121’s customer service hotline or email for prompt support and handling.

Consumers should be careful to purchase fireworks safely at Z121’s official stores and authorized dealers.

Safe use of fireworks – Protect yourself and the community

To enjoy fireworks safely, users should carefully read the instructions on the packaging, choose open and well-ventilated areas, avoid strong winds, keep a safe distance, and ensure adult supervision when children are nearby. Products that are damp, dented, deformed, or show abnormal signs must never be used. Z121 prints clear safety instructions on every product for easy compliance.

Users should carefully read the instructions before use.

Z121 – For the safety of every family

As the sole defense-industry unit authorized to produce legal consumer fireworks, Z121 is committed to maintaining quality, strengthening public awareness, coordinating with authorities to combat counterfeits, and helping consumers correctly identify genuine products. Every box of fireworks represents not only the result of a rigorous inspection process, but also Z121’s wish to bring safe, brilliant moments of togetherness to every Vietnamese family.
