The Dangers of Alcohol-Based Tabletop Firepits
Alcohol-based tabletop firepits have become popular in recent years, marketed as sleek, easy-to-use alternatives for ambiance and home décor. However, many of these firepits, including Colsen models and similar brands such as Sportkee, Houswise, Hranboty, and LKCTB, pose severe risks to users.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recently recalled Colsen tabletop firepits after reports of injuries caused by flame jetting—a phenomenon where invisible alcohol flames unexpectedly intensify and spread, leading to burns and explosions. Tragically, these incidents have caused catastrophic injuries, including third-degree burns requiring extensive treatment. Despite the Colsen recall, many similar tabletop firepits with the same dangerous design remain on the market, posing ongoing risks to consumers.
If you or a loved one has been harmed by a tabletop firepit, you may be entitled to compensation.

Understanding the Risks of Alcohol-Based Tabletop Firepits
Alcohol flames are often invisible, creating a false sense of safety. Users may mistakenly believe the fire has gone out, only to experience a flashback or explosion when refueling. This can cause flames to travel back into the fuel container, leading to devastating injuries.
Reports to the CPSC detail 31 incidents involving alcohol-based firepits, with 19 victims suffering serious injuries. These firepits are often sold with inadequate warnings about the inherent dangers of using rubbing alcohol as fuel.
At Richardson Thomas, we recognize the lasting physical, emotional, and financial tolls these injuries can take on victims and their families. Our team is dedicated to helping you navigate your legal options, secure compensation, and rebuild your life.
Legal Rights for Victims of Firepit Incidents
Manufacturers of alcohol-based firepits have a legal duty to ensure their products are safe and to warn consumers of potential dangers. When they fail in this responsibility, they can be held accountable for their negligence. Victims of firepit-related injuries may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, including treatment for burns and long-term care, lost wages or reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering such as emotional distress, and property damage caused by the incident.
