Published by Current legal status: There is currently no public recall or settlement involving CHGBOWZ fire pits. Consumers may still be able to seek legal review if they suffered serious burns or other losses involving a CHGBOWZ tabletop fire pit or another alcohol-burning tabletop fire pit.
CHGBOWZ tabletop fire pits are portable concrete fire pit bowls used for indoor/outdoor décor, patio gatherings, camping, and s’mores-style use. Some CHGBOWZ models use rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol in dual burner cups to create a small smokeless flame.
The main concern is that these products are used close to the body and often around food, furniture, children, pets, fuel bottles, and serving items. A small tabletop flame can become dangerous if fuel vapors ignite unexpectedly or if burning liquid travels beyond the burner.

Latest News & Updates on CHGBOWZ Fire Pit Lawsuits
June 2026
June 30, 2026 – Public reporting described an Oceanside, California incident in which two children and one adult suffered burns while roasting marshmallows with a recalled tabletop fireplace fueled by rubbing alcohol. The incident was not reported as involving CHGBOWZ, but it highlights the close-range burn risk of alcohol-fueled tabletop flame products used during s’mores or family gatherings [1].
May 2026
May 7, 2026 – CPSC warned consumers to stop using Northlight Bio Ethanol Portable Tabletop Fireplaces because they can create uncontrolled pool fires and flame jetting from fuel containers, resulting in serious or fatal burns. The warning is not specific to CHGBOWZ, but it shows continuing regulatory concern over tabletop bioethanol fireplaces that use pooled liquid fuel [2].
April 2026
April 2, 2026 – CPSC warned consumers to stop using Rozato Tabletop Fire Pits immediately after one death and multiple serious burn injuries were associated with flame-jetting and fire hazards. The agency stated that alcohol-fueled tabletop fire pits can create uncontrolled pool fires and flame jetting when liquid fuel burns across a surface or ignites during refueling [3].
December 2024
December 19, 2024 – CPSC issued a broad consumer alert warning against alcohol or other liquid-burning fire pits that require consumers to pour fuel into an open container or bowl and ignite the pooled liquid in the same place. CPSC stated that these products can violate ASTM F3363-19 and can create flame-jetting and uncontrolled pool-fire hazards [4].
October 2024
October 17, 2024 – CPSC recalled about 89,500 Colsen-branded fire pits after 31 reports of flame jetting or flames escaping from the concrete container. The recall reported 19 burn injuries, including third-degree burns, surgery, prolonged medical treatment, burn-center admission, disability, loss of function, or permanent disfigurement in some cases [5].
Product Context
CHGBOWZ tabletop fire pits are sold as concrete portable fire pit bowls and fireplace s’mores maker kits with dual burner cups. Product information states that the fire pits use rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, are intended for indoor/outdoor, patio, home décor, and camping use, and may burn for more than 60 minutes [6].
What Is a CHGBOWZ Fire Pit?
A CHGBOWZ fire pit is a portable tabletop fire pit that uses alcohol-based liquid fuel to create a decorative open flame. CHGBOWZ fire pits include concrete fire pit bowls and s’mores maker kits designed for compact tabletop use.
Some CHGBOWZ products use dual burner cups and rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol to produce a smokeless flame. They are used for indoor/outdoor décor, patio settings, camping, small-space gatherings, and s’mores-style activities.
The product’s dual-burner layout can matter in an injury investigation. Two flame openings may affect fuel quantity, refueling behavior, heat distribution, flame visibility, and how close users sit or reach toward the fire pit.
Consumers should preserve the fire pit, burner cups, fuel bottle, packaging, instructions, online listing, receipt, seller information, photos, videos, and any s’mores accessories used during the incident. These materials can help identify the exact product and reconstruct how the injury occurred.
Reported Risks or Injuries
The major risks involving alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits are flame jetting, flash fire, spillover, and pool fires. These hazards can happen suddenly and may expose users or bystanders to burning liquid fuel.
Flame jetting can occur when alcohol fuel is poured into or near a burner that still contains flame, heat, or ignitable vapors. Alcohol flames may be faint, blue, or hard to see, especially outdoors or after the visible flame appears to fade.
Pool fires occur when burning liquid fuel spreads across a surface after spilling, leaking, overflowing, or escaping the burner cup. Instead of staying inside the fire pit, flames may move across a table, counter, patio surface, clothing, paper plates, napkins, or nearby furniture.
Potential injuries include second-degree burns, third-degree burns, facial burns, hand and arm burns, chest burns, airway injuries, smoke inhalation, infection, nerve damage, scarring, contractures, and permanent disfigurement. Severe cases may require ambulance transport, hospitalization, burn-unit care, debridement, skin grafting, surgery, therapy, or long-term scar treatment.
How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?
The problem often begins when a user adds more alcohol fuel after believing the flame has gone out. If a hidden flame remains in either burner cup, the incoming fuel may ignite and send flames or burning liquid outward.
CHGBOWZ s’mores maker kits may create additional close-contact risks because users lean toward the flame with food or skewers. Children, guests, and seated users may be within arm’s reach of the fire pit, fuel bottle, burner cups, and tabletop surface.
A legal investigation may examine the burner cups, concrete body, fuel reservoir capacity, stability, fuel instructions, refueling warnings, flame visibility, packaging, product photos, and online marketing. It may also evaluate whether instructions clearly warned users not to refill while hot, not to overfill the burner cups, and not to keep fuel containers near the flame.
Potentially responsible parties may include the manufacturer, importer, online seller, marketplace, distributor, component supplier, fuel supplier, or other companies involved in selling or promoting the product. Liability depends on product identity, defect evidence, warning adequacy, seller records, injury mechanism, and state law.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers may be affected if they were burned while lighting, refueling, extinguishing, moving, cleaning, roasting marshmallows, or sitting near a CHGBOWZ tabletop fire pit. The injured person does not have to be the person who poured the fuel.
Bystanders may also be affected if burning liquid or flame traveled outward from the burner cups or fuel container. A guest seated nearby may be injured before having enough time to react.
These incidents may happen during ordinary home use, including patio dinners, balcony gatherings, indoor décor displays, camping trips, holiday events, and s’mores setups. A compact tabletop fire pit may look controlled, but liquid fuel can ignite quickly and spread beyond the product.
Families may be affected when burn injuries require emergency care, hospitalization, skin grafting, time away from work, or long-term scar treatment. Fatal burn incidents may also raise wrongful death issues depending on state law.
Do I Qualify?
- Were you burned by a CHGBOWZ tabletop fire pit, concrete fire pit bowl, s’mores maker kit, dual-burner fire pit, or similar alcohol-fueled flame product?
- Did the product use rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, bioethanol, or another liquid fuel?
- Did flames flare, jet outward, spill, spread across a surface, or flash back toward a fuel container?
- Were you lighting, refueling, extinguishing, moving, cleaning, roasting marshmallows, or sitting near the fire pit when the injury occurred?
- Did you suffer second-degree burns, third-degree burns, facial burns, hand burns, scarring, infection, surgery, skin grafting, or burn-unit treatment?
- Do you still have the fire pit, burner cups, fuel bottle, instructions, packaging, online listing, order records, medical records, or witness information?
Product identification can be difficult when small fire pits are purchased online, imported, gifted, or used at group events. Save screenshots of the product page, order records, seller name, packaging, model details, burner-cup photos, and any documents linking the incident to CHGBOWZ.

Legal Process Overview
Step 1: Free case review. The review begins with the product name, seller, purchase date, fuel type, incident sequence, injury severity, and available evidence. The early focus is often whether the burn involved refueling, hidden flame, dual burner cups, s’mores use, spilled fuel, flame jetting, or an uncontrolled pool fire.
Step 2: Evidence preservation and investigation. The fire pit, burner cups, fuel bottle, packaging, instructions, online listing, burned clothing, photos, videos, medical records, and witness statements should be preserved where possible. Product experts may evaluate burner-cup design, fuel path, stability, surface protection, warnings, and foreseeable tabletop use.
Step 3: Filing the claim. If the evidence supports legal action, a claim may allege defective design, failure to warn, negligence, breach of warranty, marketplace liability, or other claims depending on state law. Filing deadlines vary by state.
Step 4: Discovery and negotiation. Discovery may involve seller records, marketplace documents, product testing, warning materials, incident reports, medical records, expert opinions, and witness testimony. Negotiation may focus on burn severity, scarring, future care, lost income, product identification, and responsibility among sellers, suppliers, and manufacturers.
Step 5: Resolution. A case may resolve through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial. The outcome depends on product proof, defect evidence, injury documentation, expert analysis, damages, and legal defenses.
Frequently Asked Questions About CHGBOWZ Fire Pit Lawsuits
Is there a CHGBOWZ fire pit recall?
There is currently no public recall involving CHGBOWZ fire pits. Consumers may still be able to request legal review if they suffered serious burn injuries or other losses involving a CHGBOWZ fire pit.
What are CHGBOWZ fire pits used for?
CHGBOWZ fire pits are portable tabletop flame products used for indoor/outdoor décor, camping, patios, home gatherings, and s’mores-style use. Some models use rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol in dual burner cups.
Why are alcohol-fueled tabletop fire pits dangerous?
Alcohol flames can be hard to see, and liquid fuel can spill, pool, or ignite suddenly. Refueling near a hidden flame can cause flame jetting that propels burning liquid toward users or bystanders.
What injuries may support a CHGBOWZ fire pit lawsuit?
Potential claims may involve second-degree burns, third-degree burns, facial burns, hand and arm burns, infection, skin grafting, burn-unit treatment, permanent scarring, disfigurement, or death. Medical records and injury photos are important evidence.
Can I bring a claim if the fire pit was used for s’mores?
Possibly. S’mores use may place users, children, and guests close to the flame, burner cups, and fuel container. Photos of the setup, witness statements, product packaging, and medical records may help support a legal review.
What evidence should I save after a CHGBOWZ fire pit accident?
Save the fire pit, burner cups, fuel bottle, instructions, packaging, online listing, photos, videos, burned clothing, medical records, fire reports, and witness statements. If the product is unsafe to keep, photograph it thoroughly before disposal.
Do I need proof that the CHGBOWZ fire pit was recalled?
No. A product does not have to be recalled for an injured consumer to request a legal review. Many product liability claims focus on design, warnings, foreseeable use, marketing, seller records, and injury evidence.
