If you bought a Sharper Image tabletop fire pit at Walmart, Target, Home Depot, or Amazon since 2023, check the base of the unit today. The Sharper Image fire pit recall covers about 265,000 units. Four people were injured, some with third- and fourth-degree burns, when liquid fuel escaped or shot outward during use. Stop using the fire pit immediately. A full refund is available, and no receipt is required.

What Is Being Recalled

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued Recall #27-082 on November 12, 2026. Allstar Marketing Group, LLC, based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, is recalling two Sharper Image products. The first is the Tabletop Fire Pit. It is a concrete cylinder with a removable snuffing lid—a cover designed to safely extinguish the flame—and an open burn chamber. The second is the Tabletop Infinity Fire Pit. It features a steel base and tempered-glass panels surrounding the flame.

About 265,000 units were sold between January 2023 and June 2026 for $30 to $50 each. Units were available at Ace Hardware, Burlington, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Kohl’s, Marshalls, Nordstrom, Rite Aid, Target, TJ Maxx, Walgreens, Walmart, Amazon.com, and HSN.com.

Burn Risk and How to Claim Your Refund

Four incidents were reported in which ignited liquid fuel escaped from the fire pit during use. All four resulted in injuries, including third- and fourth-degree burns to multiple body parts.

Flame jetting is the specific hazard. This occurs when liquid fuel ignites and bursts outward from the unit suddenly and without warning. The CPSC warned in December 2024 that liquid fuels such as isopropyl alcohol and ethanol burn with flame temperatures over 1,600°F and can cause third-degree burns in less than one second.

To claim your refund, write “RECALLED – DO NOT USE” in permanent marker on the unit. Take the photos the recall portal asks for, including the base sticker. Submit them at firepitrecall.expertinquiry.com. You can also call 855-215-5032, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time, or email allstarmarketing6861@sedgwick.com.

No receipt is needed. The standard Tabletop Fire Pit pays $29.99. The Tabletop Infinity Fire Pit pays $49.99. Refunds arrive as a virtual prepaid card.

Identifying Your Unit and Disposing of Leftover Fuel

Check the base of your fire pit for the following identifiers. The front of the unit shows a “77” logo. The unit has a round black “CHINA” sticker with a five-digit code. A Lot Code sticker sits in the center of the base. Look for the letter codes KS-CY or KS-FC and a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. If your unit has these markings, it is included in the recall. If you are unsure, contact the recall line before using it again.

Once you stop using the fire pit, you may have liquid fuel remaining. Dispose of any remaining fuel in accordance with your local hazardous-waste requirements.

Voluntary Standard Was Not Enough

Both recalled models were tested against ASTM F3363-19, a voluntary safety standard designed to prevent pool fires and flame jetting. Passing that test did not prevent four severe burn injuries. The incidents align with the CPSC’s 2024 warning. CPSC says these fire pits require consumers to pour liquid fuel into an open container or bowl and then ignite the pooled liquid, which can cause pool fires and flame jetting. The products were tested to that voluntary standard, yet the reported incidents show they still pose a risk of serious burn injury.

Why are liquid-fuel tabletop fire pits dangerous?

Liquid fuels such as isopropyl alcohol and ethanol burn with flame temperatures over 1,600°F and can cause third-degree burns in less than one second. These fire pits burn pooled liquid fuel in an open container, which can let fuel escape or jet flames outward without warning. The four reported injuries resulted from ignited fuel escaping from the unit during use.

The Sharper Image fire pit recall covers about 265,000 units sold at U.S. retailers from January 2023 through June 2026. Four people were injured, with some suffering severe burns. No receipt is needed to claim a $29.99 or $49.99 refund. Mark the unit, photograph it, and submit your claim. Dispose of any leftover fuel in accordance with your local hazardous-waste requirements. For questions, call 855-215-5032, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern Time.
