Nineteen burn injuries were reported, including third-degree burns, surgeries, burn-center treatment, loss of function, and permanent disfigurement [5].
Double T Concept Product Context
Double T Concept’s Juno and Tornado models are bioethanol tabletop fireplaces intended to provide real flames without smoke. The fireplaces are sold for indoor and outdoor use and are designed to function as decorative focal points in homes, offices, balconies, gardens, and dining spaces [6].
What Is a Double T Concept Fire Pit?
A Double T Concept fire pit is a freestanding tabletop fireplace that burns bioethanol. The company’s product line includes the Juno and Tornado models in finishes such as black, anthracite, natural, walnut, and light gray.
The fireplaces are intended to create a clean decorative flame without wood, ash, or a traditional chimney. A consumer pours bioethanol into the burner and ignites the fuel to create the flame display.
Double T Concept promotes the products for tables, gardens, balconies, homes, and offices. Their compact design allows the fireplaces to be moved between locations and used close to seating, furniture, and household décor.
The Juno fireplace measures approximately 16.14 inches long, 6.30 inches wide, and eight inches high. Double T Concept advertises burn times of up to approximately 150 minutes.
Why Can Bioethanol Tabletop Fireplaces Be Dangerous?
Bioethanol is a flammable alcohol-based liquid. Once ignited, spilled fuel can burn across a tabletop, floor, counter, furniture surface, or other area outside the intended burner.
Alcohol flames may appear blue, faint, or nearly invisible under bright lighting. A consumer may mistakenly believe the flame is extinguished and attempt to add more fuel while heat or active flame remains.
If the flame travels back through the stream of fuel, it can enter the bottle and propel burning alcohol outward. This event is known as flame jetting and can cover nearby people with burning liquid.
The fireplace may also remain hot after visible flames disappear. Moving, touching, refilling, or placing the unit near combustible materials before it has cooled can increase the risk of burns or fire.
Reported Risks or Injuries
No Double T Concept-specific injuries are identified in the public CPSC recall record. However, similar alcohol-burning tabletop products have caused severe burns, permanent disfigurement, disability, and death.
Pool fires can occur when spilled bioethanol burns across a flat surface. Because the burning liquid may spread rapidly, a small decorative flame can reach clothing, upholstered furniture, table linens, rugs, curtains, or nearby people.
Potential injuries include second-degree burns, third-degree burns, facial burns, hand and arm burns, chest burns, airway damage, smoke inhalation, infection, nerve damage, contractures, and permanent scarring. Serious cases may require skin grafts, surgery, physical therapy, or prolonged burn-center treatment.
A fire may also cause property damage to tables, floors, walls, furniture, electronics, decorations, and surrounding structures. Consumers may incur repair costs, temporary housing expenses, insurance deductibles, or losses involving irreplaceable property.
How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?
A Double T Concept incident may begin when fuel spills during filling, the burner is overfilled, or the fireplace is placed on an unstable or combustible surface. Refilling before the burner has completely cooled can create an especially dangerous ignition event.
The fireplace’s decorative design may also influence how consumers assess the risk. A product promoted as clean, smoke-free, stylish, or suitable for indoor use may not appear as dangerous as a conventional open fire.
A legal investigation may examine the fuel reservoir, burner opening, flame guards, base stability, extinguishing device, surface temperatures, instructions, warning placement, recommended fuel, and required cooling period. Investigators may also review whether marketing adequately communicated the possibility of invisible flame, pool fire, and flame jetting.
Potentially responsible parties may include the manufacturer, importer, distributor, online seller, marketplace, component supplier, or fuel supplier. Liability depends on product identification, defect evidence, warnings, incident circumstances, damages, and applicable state law.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers may be affected if they were injured while filling, lighting, extinguishing, moving, cleaning, or sitting near a Double T Concept fireplace. The injured person does not need to be the owner or the person who handled the fuel.
Guests may be exposed when the fireplace is used as a dining-table centerpiece or at a social gathering. A person seated nearby may have little time to react if burning alcohol spreads across the table or jets from a fuel bottle.
Employees, customers, or visitors may also be exposed if the fireplace is used in an office, restaurant, showroom, vacation rental, or hospitality setting. Records identifying who purchased, installed, fueled, and maintained the product may be important in these cases.
Children and pets may face added risks because the real flame is located at tabletop height. A decorative barrier or housing may not prevent contact with hot components, burning fuel, or an overturned unit.
Do I Qualify?
- Were you burned or otherwise injured by a Double T Concept Juno or Tornado tabletop fireplace?
- Did the incident involve bioethanol, another alcohol-based fuel, refilling, spilled fuel, or an unexpected flare-up?
- Did flames spread across a table, floor, counter, furniture surface, or clothing?
- Did the fire flash back toward the fuel bottle or propel burning liquid toward people nearby?
- Were you injured while lighting, refilling, extinguishing, moving, cleaning, or sitting near the fireplace?
- Did you require emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, skin grafting, scar treatment, or other medical care?
- Do you have the fireplace, fuel container, packaging, instructions, purchase records, photographs, medical records, or witness information?
Consumers should preserve the fireplace, burner, extinguishing tool, fuel bottle, packaging, instructions, and order records after an incident. Photograph the fireplace’s position, nearby objects, fire damage, fuel container, and injuries before anything is moved or discarded.

Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
Legal Process Overview
Step 1: Free case review. The review begins with the Double T Concept model, purchase source, fuel type, fireplace location, incident sequence, injuries, and property damage. Attorneys may ask whether the event involved filling, relighting, moving the unit, or a fuel bottle near active flame.
Step 2: Evidence preservation and investigation. Preserve the fireplace, burner, extinguishing tool, fuel container, packaging, instructions, receipts, photographs, damaged property, medical records, and witness information. Experts may evaluate the burner, fuel containment, flame barriers, warning labels, stability, and surface-temperature evidence.
Step 3: Filing the claim. If the evidence supports legal action, a claim may allege defective design, manufacturing defect, inadequate warnings, negligence, breach of warranty, or marketplace liability. Filing deadlines vary by state and the circumstances of the injury.
Step 4: Discovery and negotiation. Discovery may involve design documents, testing records, instructions, warnings, seller information, incident reports, medical files, fire records, and expert testimony. Negotiations may address burn severity, future treatment, property damage, product identification, and responsibility among the companies involved.
Step 5: Resolution. A case may end through settlement, dismissal, court ruling, or trial. The outcome depends on the product evidence, cause of the fire, warning adequacy, injuries, damages, and applicable defenses.
Frequently Asked Questions About Double T Concept Fire Pit Lawsuits
Is there a Double T Concept fire pit recall?
There is currently no public CPSC recall involving Double T Concept fire pits. A recall is not required for an injured consumer to request a product liability review.
What fuel do Double T Concept fireplaces use?
Double T Concept Juno and Tornado tabletop fireplaces burn bioethanol. Bioethanol is a flammable alcohol-based liquid that can create pool fires or flame jetting if spilled or poured near active flame.
Where can Double T Concept fire pits be used?
The fireplaces are marketed for indoor and outdoor settings, including homes, offices, balconies, gardens, and table surfaces. Consumers must still consider ventilation, surface stability, clearance, fuel storage, and nearby combustible materials.
What makes a Double T Concept case different from other fire pit cases?
Double T Concept cases may involve a larger sculptural tabletop fireplace marketed as a decorative focal point rather than a small concrete s’mores bowl. Relevant evidence may include the fireplace housing, flame barriers, burner dimensions, indoor placement, surrounding décor, and manufacturer instructions.
Can a guest bring a claim after being injured?
Possibly. A guest or bystander may request legal review even if someone else purchased, fueled, or lit the fireplace. Photographs, witness statements, order records, and the preserved product may help establish what happened.
What evidence should be saved after a fire?
