About the LKCTB Tabletop Fire Pit
LKCTB sells an ethanol smokeless mini tabletop fireplace on Amazon (ASIN B0DD3HYX5N) designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The product requires 70% or higher isopropyl alcohol as fuel, offers up to 2 hours of burn time, and ships with four roasting sticks and a burning cotton wick — positioning it explicitly as a party product and s’mores maker for groups.
LKCTB’s own listing includes a “Friendly Reminder” that fuel is not included and that “the fuel is readily available, easy to find, and affordable.” That framing treats the purchase of a flammable liquid as a casual afterthought — not as the critical safety variable that federal regulators have identified as the source of every catastrophic injury in this product category.
The Separate Fuel Problem
When a fire pit is sold without fuel, the consumer must acquire it separately — typically a bottle of isopropyl rubbing alcohol from a drugstore, with no flame arrestor, no pour-control nozzle, and no special labeling beyond standard first-aid warnings. That is the bottle a consumer is holding when they attempt to refuel an LKCTB fire pit at a party.
If any residual flame remains in the bowl — nearly invisible in ambient party lighting — pouring from that bottle creates the exact conditions for a flame jetting explosion: an uncontrolled burst of burning liquid that can travel 15 feet or more in under one second, striking anyone seated at or near the table [1]. The CPSC has noted that group gatherings account for approximately 40% of all reported tabletop fire pit incidents — meaning parties are where these injuries most frequently happen.
Federal Warnings and Industry Accountability
In December 2024, the CPSC issued a sweeping consumer alert declaring all alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits “extremely dangerous” and urging consumers to immediately stop using them and sellers to stop selling them [1]. In July 2026, the CPSC issued a specific warning against Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits after seven burn injuries were reported and the manufacturer refused to recall the product [2].
LKCTB is among the brands attorneys are actively investigating for burn injury claims. No formal recall is required for an injured consumer to pursue a product liability claim — what matters is whether the product was defectively designed and whether that defect caused the injury.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
Consumers who were burned while using an LKCTB tabletop fire pit — whether at a party, a gathering, or in any other setting — may have significant legal options against the manufacturer, seller, or online platform. Contact an attorney promptly to have your case evaluated.
