The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a nationwide recall of Sharper Image tabletop fire pits after multiple reports of burning fuel escaping during use. The recall, issued on November 12, covers two models – the standard Tabletop Fire Pit and the Tabletop Infinity Fire Pit – sold across the United States from January 2023 through June 2026.
What happened
Four consumers suffered serious injuries, including third‑ and fourth‑degree burns to various body parts, when liquid fuel leaked or ignited unexpectedly from the fire pits. The CPSC warned that the escaping fuel can create a flame jet, posing a serious burn and fire hazard.
How to identify a recalled unit
Owners can verify whether their fire pit is part of the recall by checking for a “77” logo on the front of the unit and a lot‑code sticker in the center of the base. The recall notice also lists a round black sticker marked “CHINA” with a five‑digit code, the letters KS‑CY or KS‑FC, and a date code in YYYY‑MM‑DD format.
Steps to take
If you own one of the recalled fire pits, stop using it immediately. Register your product at www.firepitrecall.expertinquiry.com, mark the fire pit with the words “RECALLED – DO NOT USE” in permanent marker, and upload three photographs as instructed. After Allstar Marketing Group confirms your registration, you will receive a full refund.
Allstar also advises owners to dispose of any remaining fuel according to local hazardous‑waste regulations and to discard the fire pit safely.
