According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), alcohol flames can be invisible and lead to flame jetting when refilling the fire pit reservoir. Flame jetting is a serious event that can occur while pouring the alcohol used to fill the fire pit reservoir. When this occurs, the fire flashes back to the alcohol container and suddenly propels the burning alcohol out of the container and onto anyone nearby.
Alcohol can also splash, spill, or leak out of the fire pit reservoir during use, causing a flash fire that can spread and create larger, hotter flames that can escape the unit. Per the CPSC, the recalled fire pits can lead to injury quickly and unexpectedly, causing burns in less than one second that can be serious and deadly.
CPSC Issues Colson Fire Pit Recall Warning
The Oct. 17, 2024, recall involves about 90,000 indoor/outdoor tabletop fire pits. There are seven models of Colsen-branded fire pits varying in size from 5 to 18 inches wide. The fire pit models are gray or black in color and are round, rectangular, hexagonal, square, or skull-shaped.
The CPSC has received at least 31 reports of flame jetting and flames escaping from the fire pits, resulting in at least 19 burn injuries. Multiple incidents involved third-degree burns, and at least six incidents have involved surgery, prolonged medical treatment, admission to burn treatment facilities, loss of function, physical therapy, or permanent disfigurement.
The fire pits were sold online at Colsenfirepits.com, Amazon.com, Wayfair, Walmart, Sharper Image, FlipShop, Grommet, Meta, and TikTok from January 2020 to July 2024 for between $40 and $90.
