    In this short note, we prove some consequences of Burnside's vanishing property \cite{b-pa}. It is known that Harada's identity concerning the product of all conjugacy classes of a finite group is a consequence of Burnside's vanishing property of characters. We prove a similar formula for any weakly-integral fusion category. In the second part, we prove some structural results concerning nilpotent and modular fusion categories. As an application we show that any fusion category of dimension p2q2r2dp^2q^2r^2d with p<q<rp<q<r prime numbers and dd a square-free integer is weakly-group theoretical.Comment: 8 pages.
