About Weyland Fire Pits
Weyland Outdoors sells two tabletop fire pit designs through its website at weylandoutdoors.com — the Log Design and the Stone Design — both made from concrete, measuring 4.5 inches across and 3.75 inches tall. Both burn 70%, 91%, or greater isopropyl or denatured alcohol in an open concrete bowl, and each package includes four marshmallow roasting sticks, a stainless steel fuel container, and a fire pit extinguisher.
Weyland’s own product listings include real customer reviews confirming indoor use: “We just used regular alcohol, like the one you use for cuts, and it worked awesome” and “My daughter likes to do some smores, but I dont like to go outside to do it, so I find this little portable fire pit.” Those use cases — indoor, family, casual, small space — are precisely the conditions where an invisible alcohol flame presents the greatest unacknowledged risk.
The Indoor City Apartment Problem
Weyland’s positioning as a product for “people in the city with limited space” means its fire pits are being used in apartments, studios, and small indoor rooms — environments with limited ventilation, minimal separation from combustible materials, and nowhere to retreat quickly if a flame jetting event occurs. The CPSC’s December 2024 consumer alert specifically identified indoor and enclosed settings as contexts of heightened concern for these products [1].
Isopropyl alcohol — the fuel Weyland’s products accept — burns with a nearly colorless, nearly invisible flame that is even harder to detect indoors in normal household lighting. When a user in a small apartment pours fresh alcohol into a bowl that still contains a residual flame they cannot see, the resulting flame jetting explosion propels burning liquid outward with nowhere to go — toward furniture, curtains, children, and the user themselves.
Federal Warnings and Industry Accountability
In December 2024, the CPSC declared all alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits “extremely dangerous,” linking them to two deaths and more than 60 serious burn injuries since 2019 and calling on all consumers to stop using them and all sellers to stop selling them [1]. In July 2026, the CPSC issued a specific warning against Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits after seven burn injuries — including third-degree burns — were reported and the manufacturer refused to recall the product [2].
Weyland is among the brands attorneys are actively investigating for burn injury claims nationwide. No formal recall is required for an injured consumer to pursue a product liability claim against a manufacturer or seller of a defective product.
Can I File a Lawsuit?
Consumers who were burned while using a Weyland tabletop fire pit — whether indoors, on a balcony, or outdoors — may have significant legal options against Weyland Outdoors and any platform that sold the product. Contact an attorney promptly to have your case evaluated.
