COAOOIX Fire Pit Lawsuit Update: Injuries, Recall Status, and Legal Options

CPSC says alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits like COAOOIX can cause flame jetting and pool fires that burn people badly. A pool fire can suddenly grow larger and hotter, and the flames can reach well past the fire pit. No recall, CPSC warning, docket or filed lawsuit names COAOOIX. CPSC has issued an alert covering alcohol and liquid-burning fire pits as a category, and a lawsuit names Colsen. CPSC warnings name Houswise and Rozato. CPSC tells consumers to immediately stop using and dispose of alcohol or other liquid-burning fire pits, and it asks sellers to stop selling them. That advice applies to the whole category of these fire pits.

What Is a COAOOIX Fire Pit?

According to CPSC, these fire pits burn pooled alcohol or other liquid fuel and are also sold as tabletop fire pits, fire pots or miniature fireplaces. The user pours liquid fuel into an open container and lights it there. CT Insider reported CPSC’s warning that these fire pits can cause uncontrolled pool fires and flame jetting from fuel containers [5]. Flame jetting can occur when refilling if any flame is present.

Who May Be Affected?

People who pour alcohol or other liquid fuel into a tabletop fire pit face the flame jetting CPSC describes. So do people who refill it while any flame is present. Bystanders near them face the same risk. CPSC says these fire pits are sold by many retailers and e-commerce sites, including Amazon.com. Only an individual legal review can say whether a claim exists if a COAOOIX fire pit burned you or someone close to you.

Reported Injuries or Damages

CPSC says alcohol and liquid-burning fire pits are extremely dangerous. It links them to two deaths and at least 60 injuries since 2019. Liquid fuels burn at flame temperatures over 1,600°F. CPSC says a burn this hot can reach third degree in under one second. CPSC received more than two dozen Houswise reports of flame-jetting, fuel leaking outside of the fire pit and unexpectedly high flames. Those reports resulted in seven injuries, including third-degree burns. The Rozato warning from CPSC reports one death and several burns tied to those fire pits. Reports are not proof that a product caused every incident, and complaints state allegations. Trevino’s complaint alleges third-degree burns to his face, ears, neck, torso, arms, hands and fingers, and many weeks in hospital. The San Diego Union-Tribune reports that several other people have filed similar lawsuits against Colsen and Amazon.

Recall and Regulatory Background

CPSC announced a Colsen fire pit recall in October 2024. For Houswise and Rozato, CPSC says the seller has not agreed to a recall. A warning or recall does not by itself establish liability. CPSC asks people to report a dangerous product or an injury at SaferProducts.gov. You can also call the CPSC hotline at 800-638-2772.

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items if a tabletop fire pit hurt you or a family member:

• The fire pit itself and its packaging
• The model name and the product listing
• The order confirmation, receipt and seller name
• The fuel used and its container
• Photographs of the device, the scene and the injuries
• Medical records and bills
• Messages with the seller or retailer
• A copy of any report filed with CPSC

Store the device somewhere safe and unused, away from children and any flame. Early photographs and records are easier to gather than later ones.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing an injury claim come from state law. They differ with where you live and when the burn injury happened. Missing a deadline can end a claim even when the facts are strong, so talk to a lawyer promptly to learn which deadline applies to you.
