Fireworks Shop That Supplied Bombers Taking Heat for 'Insensitive' Ads

Massachusetts officials are reportedly blasting Seabrook's Phantom Fireworks for mailing flyers and coupons to neighborhoods heavily affected by the Boston Marathon bombing, two months after the bombers used Phantom's fireworks while building their explosives, according to the Boston Herald.

The Boston Herald has reported that some of the flyers, advertising the business' annual "massive" Fourth of July sale, sent out in a direct mail campaign have "landed in mailboxes" in the neighborhood of one of the victims of the April 15 attack. Fireworks are banned in Massachusetts, and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley reportedly said Phantom's advertising "seems the height of insensitivity,” according to the Herald.
