About the WOFITD Tabletop Fire Pit
WOFITD sells a stainless steel alcohol-burning tabletop fireplace on Amazon in silver, described as a “2024 Upgrade” model featuring four pieces of glass paneling, two extendable roasting sticks, and a fire extinguisher. The product is marketed for both indoor and outdoor use including balcony, patio, and home settings — positioning it as a versatile lifestyle and ambiance product suitable for any surface in or around the home.
Like all products in this category, the WOFITD fire pit burns liquid alcohol fuel — isopropyl, rubbing alcohol, or bioethanol — in an open container that is ignited in the same location. That fueling mechanism violates ASTM F3363-19, the voluntary safety standard the CPSC says was specifically designed to prevent the pool fires and flame jetting events responsible for every serious injury in this product category.
What “2024 Upgrade” Doesn’t Fix
The “2024 Upgrade” designation on WOFITD’s Amazon listing suggests the company identified deficiencies in a prior model and made changes to address them. But no upgrade to the vessel, the glass paneling, or the included accessories can address the core hazard the CPSC has identified: the act of pouring liquid alcohol into an open container and igniting it in the same location produces a nearly invisible flame that makes refueling attempts potentially explosive.
Isopropyl and rubbing alcohol produce a flame that is nearly colorless and nearly invisible — a characteristic that makes it functionally impossible for a user to confirm whether the fire is still burning before attempting to add more fuel [1]. When fresh alcohol is poured near that unseen residual flame, the result can be a violent flame jetting explosion that propels burning liquid outward onto the user and anyone nearby — before anyone can react.
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 all consumers to stop using them and all sellers to stop selling them, citing two deaths and more than 60 serious burn injuries since 2019 [1]. In July 2026, the CPSC issued a specific warning against Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits after seven consumers suffered burn injuries — including third-degree burns — and the manufacturer refused to recall the product [2].
WOFITD 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 WOFITD tabletop fire pit — whether from a pool fire, a flame jetting explosion, or a refueling incident — may have significant legal options against WOFITD and the platform that sold the product. Contact an attorney promptly to have your case evaluated.
