Fire response and evacuations
A recall has been issued for 265,000 portable fire pits related to a burn hazard.
Consumer Product Safety Commission officials explained in a release that ignited flammable liquid can escape from the fire pits or trigger "flame jetting" from the fuel containers that pose a risk of severe injury from burn and fire risks.
Allstar Marketing Group received four reports of ignited fuel moving from the unit during use, resulting in four injuries including third and fourth degree burns to various body parts, the CPSC noted.
The recall involves outdoor Sharper Image-Branded Tabletop Fire Pits and Sharper Image-Branded Tabletop Infinity Fire Pits.
Consumer Product Safety Commission officials said the product features a small cylindrical concrete body with a removable" snuffing lid and an open burn chamber at the top." It also has a steel base and tempered‑glass side panels.
These portable fire pits were sold at Ace Hardware, Burlington, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Kohl’s, Marshalls, Nordstrom, Rite Aid, Target, TJ Maxx, Walgreens, Walmart and other retailers nationwide, and online, including Amazon.com and Hsn.com between January 2023 and June 2026 in the price range of $30 and $50.
