Government Overreach and Fireworks: How One Family Business is Fighting Back


Listen Later

What happens when a government agency arbitrarily decides to hold millions of dollars’ worth of inventory hostage? In this episode of American Potential, host David From speaks with Oliver Dunford, senior attorney at the Pacific Legal Foundation, about the legal battle facing Jake’s Fireworks, a family-owned business caught in regulatory limbo.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission is blocking Jake’s Fireworks from selling $2 million worth of inventory simply because their fireworks make a "bang" instead of a "pop." Despite taking the agency to court, the family has been left in legal limbo because the commission refuses to issue a final ruling—leaving them with no path to challenge the decision.

Oliver Dunford explains how this case highlights a broader problem of government overreach, where unelected bureaucrats impose regulations without accountability. This episode dives into the dangers of the administrative state, the legal fight for due process, and what this means for businesses across America.

Tune in to hear why this case matters beyond fireworks—and how the fight for economic freedom and due process is more important than ever.
