Eric Smith suffered the horrific injury after a mortar bomb firework exploded out of a metal pipe and ripped off his left arm off at the shoulder.
The 36-year-old, who was hosting a party at his Long Island, New York, home was rushed to hospital while the severed limb was packed on ice and also transported with him in the ambulance.
Surgeons were unable to re-attach the arm and Mr Smith remains in a stable condition.
Police said they are considering bringing charges against Smith as the firework had been illegally made.
