My resources at the Massachusetts Fire Marshals Office confirmed they consider these devices pyrotechnics along with the other New England states and regulate them as such, event permitting, company license and a shooters license
 
Thanks for all the thoughts.

Have to love new technology, makes the job interesting.

A show wants to use them, so we told them demo for us first, before we make a call

Maybe have a piece of loose foam insulation (and a fire extinguisher) a few feet off to the side during the demo.
