About 90,000 indoor and outdoor tabletop fire pits have been recalled after several people were injured by flames escaping from the container.
The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced Thursday that approximately 89,500 Colsen-branded fire pits have been recalled.
“Consumers should immediately stop using recalled fire pits and dispose of them,” the CPSC said in its recall. The statement also urged people not to resell the product.

The use of the recalled fire pits “can lead to immediate and unexpected injuries, causing burns in less than one second that can be severe and fatal.”
Fire pits consist of a concrete, open reservoir intended to contain flammable liquid alcohol. There are seven types of Colsen branded fire pits that range in size from 5 to 18 inches in diameter.
Fire pit models are gray or black and round, rectangular, hexagonal, square, or skull-shaped. Fire pits are sold with a fire extinguisher marked “Colsen” on it.
“The company stopped selling Colsen-branded fire extinguishers within one year of acquiring the brand’s business and does not have the funds to provide a remedy to consumers,” the consumer protection agency said.
