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 Dew & Balm

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. Consumers are asked to stop using the units and contact Allstar for a full refund.

Background

Tabletop fire pits burn liquid fuel, and a unit that tips, cracks or leaks can spread flame quickly. A recall of this kind usually requires registration and photos before a refund, so owners should follow the company's instructions closely. Recall classes and refund steps are set out by the CPSC and the manufacturer.

Why it matters

Fire pits and their fuel are not skin care, but the same habit of reading labels and lot codes helps you check whether a product you own is covered by a recall.

What you can do

Check the base for the "77" logo, the lot code sticker and the date code in YYYY-MM-DD format. If it matches, stop using it and contact Allstar at 855-215-5032 or through the recall page before disposing of it.
