Brookstone Fire Pit Recall Impacts 48,700 Units Following Severe Burn Injuries

Consumers are being advised to stop using the recalled fire pits due to risks of fuel leaks and sudden bursts of flames.

Federal safety officials are urging consumers to immediately stop using certain Brookstone tabletop fire pits, warning that the products may cause uncontrolled fires and sudden flame jetting that can result in severe burn injuries.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the Brookstone tabletop fire pit recall on August 13, after receiving two reports of flames jetting from the devices, resulting in second- and third-degree burn injuries.

Tabletop Fire Pit Dangers

A tabletop fire pit is a small, portable device designed to sit on a table or other flat surface. It typically burns liquid alcohol or other clean-burning fuels to produce an open flame for warmth, ambiance or cooking.

However, federal officials warn that in certain cases flames may spread across pooled or spilled alcohol, creating an uncontrolled fire that can move beyond the fire pit and onto consumers.

These hazards have contributed to a growing number of recalls and serious burn injuries. Earlier this year, the CPSC issued a warning for more than 50,000 Houswise tabletop fire pits following reports of flame jetting, fuel leaks and unexpectedly high flames.

In the aftermath of these incidents, tabletop fire pit lawsuits are now being filed against various manufacturers, distributors and retailers accused of selling dangerously designed products without adequate safety features, refueling instructions or warnings about invisible flames and flame jetting.

The recall involves about 48,700 Brookstone-branded tabletop fire pits featuring round or hexagonal concrete reservoirs designed to hold and burn liquid alcohol.
