Amazon Fire Pit Lawsuits
Amazon is one of the largest retailers of tabletop fire pits in the U.S., importing thousands of these products from China and selling them to unsuspecting consumers who have no idea about the hidden dangers.
Now, a growing number of tabletop fire pit lawsuits are accusing Amazon of selling unreasonably dangerous and defective products. These lawsuits accuse Amazon of:
- Failing to warn consumers about the life-threatening burn hazards of tabletop fire pits
- Putting profits over safety by continuing to allow companies from China to sell these dangerous products to people.
- Not providing adequate warnings about burn injuries and fire hazards like “flame-jetting”
- And more
Amazon Warns People Not To Use Tabletop Fire Pits
In December 2024, Amazon began warning people not to use tabletop fire pits that burn liquid alcohol or ethanol fuel. Amazon sent a follow-up warning in October 2025.
The initial warning came soon after a major recall for Colsen Tabletop Fire Pits, which were recalled in October 2024 after 19 people were severely burned.
The deaths of two 93-year-old grandparents have also been attributed to a tragic accident involving a young woman who tried to relight a FLIKRFIRE Tabletop Fire Pits from Amazon.
CPSC Warns People Not To Use Tabletop Fire Pits
Tabletop fire pits are “extremely dangerous and have been associated with two deaths and at least 60 injuries,” according to the U.S. consumer Product Safety Commission. Safety officials warned:
“Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, ethanol/bioethanol, and similar liquid fuels burn with flame temperatures over 1,600°F and can cause third degree burns in less than one second. Igniting a pool of alcohol or other liquid fuel in a fire pit’s open container creates an uncontrollable pool fire, which can suddenly produce larger, hotter flames that can spread beyond the fire pit product.”
Tabletop Fire Pit Lawsuit Filed Against Amazon for Burn Injuries
In January 2026, a tabletop fire pit lawsuit was filed against Amazon by a person who was severely burned by a “flame-jetting” accident.
The lawsuit was filed by the victim and her husband, who purchased a POOFZY Tabletop Fire Pit from Amazon.com in November 2024. They used the product for the first time on December 22, 2024.
After lighting the fire pit with a small amount of liquid ethanol fuel, the flames appeared to go out. The couple tried to relight the fire pit by pouring more liquid ethanol into the fire pit — but instead, it suddenly ignited and caused a flashback explosion called “flame-jetting.”
The flames exploded out of the ethanol container, spraying her with burning alcohol. It caused “catastrophic” burns to her face and body.
The lawsuit was filed against Amazon.com Inc., Amazon.com Services LLC, and Suzhou Tengli Maoyouxian Gongsi (a company in China doing business on Amazon under the name “Cenmesy”).
The Amazon Tabletop Fire Pit Lawsuit was filed on January 5, 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Fort Myers Division) — Case Number 2:26-cv-00015.
Other Fire Pit Lawsuits Filed Against Amazon
In August 2025, yet another fire pit lawsuit was filed against Amazon by a person who was severely burned. The victim was just 17 years old when she was burned in September 2024 in a horrific accident.
According to the lawsuit, she was burned when her relative attempted to re-light the tabletop fire pit. Instead, “an invisible flame in the fire pit ignited the fuel vapors from the container of rubbing alcohol, which sparked a dangerous explosion called ‘flame jetting.'”
She was severely burned on her upper body, arms, leg, and abdomen, resulting in hospitalization, severe pain and suffering, and scarring.
