Published by Current legal status: There is currently no public recall or settlement involving Ciekope fire pits. Consumers may still be able to seek legal review if they suffered serious burns or other losses involving a Ciekope tabletop fire pit or another alcohol-burning tabletop fire pit.
Ciekope tabletop fire pits are portable concrete and metal flame products used for smokeless decorative fire, tabletop ambiance, marshmallow roasting, and small-space indoor/outdoor use. Some Ciekope products use rubbing alcohol or similar alcohol-based fuel with a steel chamber and ceramic wool wick system.
The risk analysis for Ciekope fire pits may focus on how the fuel is absorbed, how the flame is extinguished, whether the chamber remains hot after use, and whether consumers are clearly warned not to add fuel until the product is fully cool. Those details can matter when a fire pit appears safe but still contains heat, vapor, or a hard-to-see flame.

Latest News & Updates on Ciekope Fire Pit Lawsuits
June 2026
June 30, 2026 – In Oceanside, California, 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 Ciekope, but it illustrates the close-range burn risks that may arise when alcohol-fueled tabletop flame products are used for family activities involving food, children, and open flame [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 Ciekope, but it reflects continuing regulatory concern about tabletop bioethanol fireplaces that rely on 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
Ciekope tabletop fire pits include concrete tabletop fire pit bowls with 304 steel chambers and ceramic wool wick components. The products are used as portable smokeless tabletop fireplaces for indoor/outdoor décor, camping-style ambiance, and s’mores or marshmallow-roasting activities [6].
What Is a Ciekope Fire Pit?
A Ciekope fire pit is a portable tabletop fire pit used to create a small decorative flame. Ciekope products include concrete tabletop fire pit bowls and mini fireplaces designed for indoor/outdoor décor, patio gatherings, camping-style use, and marshmallow roasting.
Some Ciekope fire pits use rubbing alcohol or similar liquid fuel rather than wood, charcoal, or propane. A steel chamber and ceramic wool wick system may hold fuel near the flame opening.
That wick-and-chamber design can be important after an incident. Ceramic wool may retain fuel or heat, and a chamber may remain hot even after the visible flame appears reduced or extinguished.
Consumers should preserve the fire pit, steel chamber, ceramic wool, lid or snuffer, fuel container, packaging, instructions, order record, seller page, photos, videos, and any marshmallow-roasting accessories used during the incident. These materials may help establish the exact product, the fuel type, and the sequence of events.
Reported Risks or Injuries
The main risks involving alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits are flame jetting, flash fire, spillover, and pool fires. These hazards can expose users or bystanders to burning liquid fuel before they have time to move away.
Flame jetting can occur when a person pours alcohol fuel into or near a burner that still contains flame, heat, or ignitable vapors. Alcohol flames may be faint, blue, or difficult to see, especially outside or in bright light.
Pool fires occur when burning liquid fuel spreads across a surface after spilling, leaking, splashing, or escaping the burner. A small flame can then move across a table, counter, patio surface, sleeve, napkin, paper plate, rug, 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 during refueling or relighting. A user may think a Ciekope fire pit is out, but the chamber, ceramic wool, or remaining vapors may still be hot enough to ignite fresh fuel.
S’mores and tabletop décor use can increase close-contact risk because people may lean toward the flame. Children, guests, sleeves, napkins, plates, and fuel bottles may all be positioned within inches of the burner.
A legal investigation may examine the steel chamber, ceramic wool, fuel-retention design, concrete body, flame opening, snuffer or lid, instructions, warning labels, refill directions, fuel recommendations, packaging, and online marketing. It may also evaluate whether the product clearly warned consumers about waiting for complete cooling, avoiding overfill, keeping fuel containers away, and never refueling near heat or 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, relighting, extinguishing, moving, cleaning, roasting marshmallows, or sitting near a Ciekope tabletop fire pit. The injured person does not have to be the person who poured the fuel.
Bystanders may also be affected if burning fuel traveled outward from the chamber or fuel container. In a tabletop setting, a person seated across the table may be close enough to suffer burns from flame jetting or a spreading pool fire.
These incidents may occur during ordinary home and recreational activities, including patio dinners, coffee-table décor, balcony gatherings, camping trips, holiday parties, backyard s’mores, or gift demonstrations. A compact fire pit may look controlled, but alcohol 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 Ciekope tabletop fire pit, concrete fire pit bowl, mini fireplace, or similar alcohol-fueled flame product?
- Did the product use rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, bioethanol, or another liquid fuel?
- Did the incident involve a steel chamber, ceramic wool wick, hidden flame, retained heat, spilled fuel, or refueling?
- Did flames flare, jet outward, spill, spread across a surface, or flash back toward a fuel container?
- Were you lighting, refueling, relighting, 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, steel chamber, ceramic wool, fuel bottle, instructions, packaging, online listing, order records, medical records, or witness information?
Product identification can be difficult when tabletop fire pits are bought online, resold, gifted, or used at group events. Save screenshots of the product page, order records, seller name, packaging, photos of the burner chamber, and any documents linking the incident to Ciekope.

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, relighting, ceramic wool, hidden flame, retained heat, spilled fuel, flame jetting, or an uncontrolled pool fire.
Step 2: Evidence preservation and investigation. The fire pit, steel chamber, ceramic wool, fuel bottle, snuffer, packaging, instructions, online listing, burned clothing, photos, videos, medical records, and witness statements should be preserved where possible. Product experts may evaluate fuel retention, burner-chamber design, cooling time, stability, surface protection, warnings, and foreseeable s’mores or 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 Ciekope Fire Pit Lawsuits
Is there a Ciekope fire pit recall?
There is currently no public recall involving Ciekope fire pits. Consumers may still be able to request legal review if they suffered serious burn injuries or other losses involving a Ciekope fire pit.
What are Ciekope fire pits used for?
Ciekope fire pits are portable tabletop flame products used for indoor/outdoor décor, camping-style ambiance, patio use, and marshmallow roasting. Some models use rubbing alcohol or another alcohol-based liquid fuel.
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 or hot chamber can cause flame jetting that propels burning liquid toward users or bystanders.
What makes Ciekope fire pit cases different from other fire pit cases?
Ciekope cases may involve a steel chamber, ceramic wool wick material, retained heat, fuel absorption, and s’mores-style tabletop use. Those facts can make the burner components, refill instructions, cooling period, and accessory evidence especially important.
What injuries may support a Ciekope 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.
What evidence should I save after a Ciekope fire pit accident?
Save the fire pit, steel chamber, ceramic wool, fuel bottle, snuffer, 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 Ciekope 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.
