In 2026, COAOOIX was specifically identified among the tabletop fire pit brands being reviewed in a nationwide burn-injury lawsuit investigation. That investigation concerns potential individual claims and does not establish that a COAOOIX lawsuit, class action, recall, or settlement has been filed or approved.
Consumers seriously burned while using or standing near a COAOOIX fire pit should preserve the product, burner, glass panels, fuel container, packaging, purchase records, photographs, and medical documentation for an individualized legal review.

Latest COAOOIX Fire Pit Legal and Safety Developments
July 2026
- July 16, 2026 – CPSC warned consumers to stop using Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits because pooled or spilled alcohol can create uncontrolled pool fires and refueling can cause flame jetting. The agency reported more than two dozen incidents and seven injuries, including third-degree burns; this action concerns a comparable brand rather than COAOOIX [1]
May 2026
- May 2026 – A nationwide tabletop fire pit burn-injury lawsuit investigation reported that attorneys were actively reviewing individual claims and specifically identified COAOOIX among the brands under investigation. The investigation concerns potential claims and should not be interpreted as evidence that a COAOOIX-specific lawsuit or class action has already been filed [2]
April 2026
- April 2, 2026 – CPSC warned consumers to stop using Rozato Tabletop Fire Pits after one death and multiple serious burn injuries were associated with flame jetting and fire hazards. The agency identified uncontrolled pool fires and refueling-related flame jetting as potential causes of serious or fatal burns [3]
December 2024
- December 19, 2024 – CPSC issued a category-wide alert concerning alcohol or other liquid-burning fire pits that require consumers to pour fuel into an open container and ignite it where it was poured. The agency reported two deaths and at least 60 injuries associated with these products since 2019 [4]
What Is a COAOOIX Fire Pit?
A COAOOIX fire pit is a compact tabletop fireplace intended to create a decorative open flame. A current marketplace listing identifies COAOOIX as the brand and describes a rectangular unit surrounded by four fully tempered-glass panels [5]
The listing describes black models with a metal-iron base and silver versions with a stainless-steel base. It identifies ethanol as the fuel type and describes indoor and outdoor placement on patios, balconies, gardens, living rooms, dining rooms, and tables.
The listing also warns against pouring ethanol into the burner while the fireplace is operating or remains hot. That instruction is relevant because residual flame or heat during refueling is central to the flame-jetting hazard identified by CPSC.
Why Can Alcohol-Burning Tabletop Fire Pits Be Dangerous?
Liquid-fuel tabletop fireplaces can create hazards that extend well beyond their small size. CPSC repeatedly identifies two mechanisms of particular concern: flame jetting and uncontrolled pool fires.
Alcohol flames may become small or difficult to see. A consumer may therefore believe the flame has gone out and begin refueling while an ignition source remains.
Because these products are commonly placed on tables, a sudden fire can expose the face, hands, arms, upper body, clothing, food, decorations, and people seated nearby.
How Does Flame Jetting Occur?
Flame jetting may occur when a person pours liquid alcohol into a burner that still contains a small flame. The flame can ignite vapors associated with the incoming fuel or the fuel container.
The resulting ignition can send flame and burning liquid outward toward the person refueling the fire pit and nearby bystanders. The event may happen too quickly for someone holding the fuel container to move away safely.
A legal investigation may examine cooling instructions, flame visibility, burner design, fuel recommendations, warnings, and whether consumers were adequately told never to refuel while the unit remained hot.
How Can an Uncontrolled Pool Fire Develop?
A pool fire occurs when burning alcohol escapes the intended burner and spreads across another surface. Fuel can spill, splash, overflow, or otherwise reach a tabletop while continuing to burn.
Flames may then reach clothing, furniture, napkins, decorations, flooring, gift wrapping, or people sitting around the product. Tempered-glass panels surrounding the primary flame do not necessarily contain burning liquid that has escaped onto the table.
Product stability, burner capacity, fuel quantity, spill potential, and warning language may all become relevant after this type of incident.
What Injuries Can COAOOIX Fire Pit Accidents Cause?
A tabletop fire pit accident can cause second- or third-degree burns to the face, hands, arms, chest, legs, or other exposed areas. Serious injuries may require ambulance transportation, hospitalization, burn-center treatment, debridement, skin grafting, reconstructive surgery, or prolonged wound care.
Long-term consequences may include permanent scarring, disfigurement, nerve damage, limited range of motion, contractures, sensitivity, infection, and psychological effects related to the accident.
The CPSC injury reports involving other tabletop fire pit brands demonstrate the potential severity of flame-jetting and pool-fire accidents. Those incidents should not be attributed specifically to COAOOIX unless product-specific evidence establishes that connection.
COAOOIX tabletop fireplaces may be purchased for decorative or social use rather than primarily for heating. That means the person injured by the product may be a guest, family member, or gift recipient rather than the original purchaser.
A guest may never have seen the packaging, fuel instructions, safety warnings, or online product description. Identifying the purchaser can therefore become important after an injury.
Party photographs and videos may also document where the fire pit, fuel bottle, decorations, and people were positioned immediately before the fire.
Who May Be Affected?
Potentially affected people include those burned while lighting, refueling, extinguishing, moving, or sitting near a COAOOIX tabletop fire pit. A claimant does not necessarily have to own or purchase the product.
Bystanders may be injured when burning fuel or flame moves beyond the burner. Children and guests can be particularly exposed when a decorative flame is positioned at table height during a gathering.
A consumer with a serious injury should obtain appropriate medical treatment and preserve documentation showing the diagnosis, treatment, photographs, and relationship between the burn and the incident.
Who May Be Liable?
Potentially responsible parties may include a manufacturer, importer, distributor, retailer, online seller, marketplace, component supplier, or another entity involved in placing the fire pit into commerce.
Possible legal theories may include defective design, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or other claims available under applicable state law.
The existence of an attorney investigation does not establish that COAOOIX is legally liable for an injury. Product identity, defect evidence, warnings, causation, damages, and applicable law must be evaluated in each case.
Do I Qualify?
- Were you burned while using or standing near a COAOOIX tabletop fire pit?
- Did the incident involve refueling, a hidden flame, flame jetting, spilled alcohol, or a spreading pool fire?
- Did you require medical care for second- or third-degree burns, surgery, skin grafting, or permanent scarring?
- Do you have the fire pit, fuel container, packaging, order records, photographs, medical records, or purchaser information?
An individualized legal review can determine whether the product identity, accident circumstances, medical evidence, damages, and applicable filing deadlines support a potential claim.
What Evidence Should I Preserve?
Preserve the fire pit, burner, glass panels, fuel bottle, snuffer or extinguisher, instructions, packaging, and other components involved in the incident when they can be stored safely.
Save purchase receipts, order confirmations, marketplace listings, seller information, photographs, videos, payment records, and communications concerning the product. If someone else purchased it, ask that person to preserve those records.
Medical records, burn photographs, damaged clothing, witness information, fire reports, and photographs of the accident scene may help establish causation and damages.

Frequently Asked Questions About COAOOIX Fire Pits
Do I Have a COAOOIX Fire Pit Lawsuit?
A claim may warrant review if a COAOOIX fire pit was involved in a flame-jetting, flash-fire, spill, or pool-fire accident that caused documented burn injuries. Whether a viable claim exists depends on product identification, causation, damages, applicable law, and available evidence.
What Evidence May Support a COAOOIX Fire Pit Lawsuit?
Relevant evidence may include the fire pit, burner, glass enclosure, fuel container, packaging, instructions, purchase records, photographs, medical documentation, and witness accounts. Preserve the product in its post-incident condition whenever it can be stored safely.
Is COAOOIX Part of a Fire Pit Lawsuit Investigation?
Yes. A 2026 nationwide attorney investigation specifically lists COAOOIX among the tabletop fire pit brands for which burn-injury claims are being reviewed. That investigation does not mean a COAOOIX-specific lawsuit or class action has already been filed.
What Does the COAOOIX Product Listing Describe?
A marketplace listing identifies a rectangular COAOOIX tabletop fireplace with four tempered-glass panels and an alcohol-fueled burner. It describes indoor and outdoor decorative uses and warns against adding ethanol while the unit is operating or hot.
What Is Flame Jetting?
Flame jetting can occur when liquid fuel ignites during refueling while a residual flame remains in the burner. The ignition may send burning fuel or flame toward the person refueling the product and nearby bystanders.
What Is an Uncontrolled Pool Fire?
A pool fire occurs when burning alcohol spreads outside the burner across another surface. The fire can then reach clothing, furniture, flooring, decorations, and people near the fire pit.
Can a Guest Injured by the Fire Pit Request Legal Review?
Potentially. The injured person does not necessarily have to be the purchaser or owner if evidence connects the COAOOIX product to the burn injury.
Does an Attorney Investigation Mean a Lawsuit Has Been Filed?
No. An attorney investigation means lawyers are evaluating potential claims and affected products. A filed lawsuit requires a complaint or other formal court action, which should not be implied solely from an investigation.
