Colsen Fire Pit Recall Class Action Lawsuit

Recall Details and Affected Products

The recalled products are:

Colsen-branded indoor/outdoor tabletop fire pits – concrete open reservoir fire pits intended to contain burning liquid alcohol; seven models varying in size from 5 to 18 inches wide; gray or black in color; round, rectangular, hexagonal, square, or skull-shaped; sold with a flame extinguisher with the “Colsen” brand printed on it.

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. Alcohol flames can be invisible and lead to flame jetting when refilling the fire pit reservoir. Flame jetting occurs when fire flashes back to the alcohol container and suddenly propels burning alcohol out of the container and onto people 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 escape the unit. Use of the recalled fire pits can lead to injury quickly and unexpectedly, causing burns in less than one second that can be serious and deadly. Colsen Fire Pits LLC recalled these products on October 17, 2024 (CPSC Recall No. 25-015) [1].

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled fire pits and dispose of them. Do NOT resell or donate them—it is a violation of federal law to sell or distribute recalled products. Colsen Fire Pits LLC stopped selling Colsen-branded fire pits less than one year after acquiring the product business and does not have the financial resources to offer a remedy to consumers.
