A pyrotechnic visual distress device, such as flares, is designed to signal for help in emergency situations, particularly on water. These devices produce bright, visible flames or smoke to attract attention from potential rescuers. They are regulated by the U.S. Coast Guard and must meet specific safety standards to be considered effective. Additionally, they typically have a limited shelf life and should be replaced after their expiration date to ensure reliability.
