Allstar Recalls Sharper Image Tabletop and Infinity Fire Pits Due to Risk of Serious Injury from Burn and Fire Hazards

Reported by CPSC · November 12 at 12:00 AM · Summary by Wall & Wick

Allstar Marketing Group of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is recalling Sharper Image-branded tabletop fire pits and tabletop Infinity fire pits. The CPSC reports four incidents in which ignited fuel escaped from the units during use, causing four injuries, including third and fourth degree burns.

Background

Tabletop fire pits burn liquid fuel, and fuel that escapes or ignites outside the burn chamber can cause flash fires and severe burns. Recalls of this kind are usually issued when a product poses an unreasonable risk of injury, and federal law generally prohibits selling recalled products.

Why it matters

Tabletop fire pits are common decor pieces on patios and porches, and a fuel-related fire can start quickly and cause serious burns.

What you can do

Check whether your fire pit has a "77" logo, a lot code sticker, and a KS-CY or KS-FC code. If it does, stop using it and contact Allstar at 855-215-5032 or www.allstarmg.com for registration and a refund.
