DYCYRQ Fire Pit Injury Lawsuit: Burn Risks, Safety Warnings, and Legal Options

DYCYRQ tabletop fire pits may cause severe burns if alcohol fuel spills onto the decorative stones, fireproof mat, table, or nearby objects and ignites outside the intended burner. Refilling a unit that still contains heat or a difficult-to-see flame can also produce flame jetting that propels fire and burning liquid toward users or bystanders.

Current legal status: There is currently no public CPSC recall or announced settlement involving DYCYRQ fire pits. Consumers who suffered serious burns or property damage involving one of these products may still be able to seek an individual legal review.

DYCYRQ fire pits are compact tabletop fireplaces sold for indoor/outdoor ambiance, patio décor, gift giving, and s’mores preparation. Certain sets include decorative cobblestones, a protective mat, a tabletop burner, and accessories intended to make the product easy to place on a dining or patio table.

The included décor and accessories may give the setup a contained appearance even though it produces a real alcohol-fueled flame. A legal investigation may examine whether the stones, mat, burner opening, extinguishing equipment, and warnings adequately addressed foreseeable spills, tip-overs, residual heat, and unsafe refilling.

DYCYRQ Product Context

DYCYRQ sells portable tabletop fireplaces and s’mores kits for indoor/outdoor, patio, and home use. Certain configurations include cobblestones and a fireproof mat, while other versions are promoted as alcohol-fueled tabletop centerpieces that can be lit for outdoor dining and social gatherings [6, 7].

What Is a DYCYRQ Fire Pit?

A DYCYRQ fire pit is a portable tabletop fireplace that creates a small open flame for décor, outdoor dining, patio use, or marshmallow roasting. The product is smaller than a conventional backyard fire pit and can be placed directly on a table or similar surface.

Some DYCYRQ sets include a burner surrounded by decorative cobblestones and placed over a protective mat. The product may also be sold as a s’mores maker kit or a housewarming, wedding, holiday, or family gift.

The compact setup allows people to gather within arm’s reach of the flame. Fuel containers, food, skewers, napkins, sleeves, decorations, and serving items may also be positioned close to the burner.

A mat or layer of cobblestones may protect against limited heat exposure but does not necessarily contain burning liquid. Alcohol that spills beyond the burner can travel between stones, soak nearby materials, run off a table, or ignite objects outside the protected area.

Why Can Decorative Stones and Tabletop Placement Matter?

Decorative stones can make a tabletop fire pit resemble a contained miniature fireplace. However, stones may conceal spilled fuel, residual liquid, soot, or a small flame that remains near the burner.

A user may also move stones, adjust the burner, or reach over the product while it is hot. If stones have absorbed heat, contact can cause burns even after the visible flame has diminished.

The surrounding mat may create another mistaken impression that the entire setup is protected from fire. A spreading alcohol fire can move beyond the edges of the mat and ignite a wood table, plastic surface, tablecloth, rug, clothing, or patio furnishing.

Table height places the flame close to the face, chest, hands, and arms of seated users. If the burner tips or burning fuel spreads, people may have only seconds to escape.

Reported Risks or Injuries

No DYCYRQ-specific injuries are identified in the public CPSC recall record. Similar pooled-alcohol tabletop fire pits have caused serious burns, permanent scarring, disability, and death.

Flame jetting can occur when a person pours fuel while a small flame remains inside the burner. The flame may travel up the stream of fuel and ignite vapors in or near the container, sending fire and burning liquid outward.

An uncontrolled pool fire can begin when alcohol spills into the stones, onto the mat, or across the table. Because the fuel itself burns, attempts to move the fire pit or wipe up the spill may spread the flames farther.

Possible injuries include second-degree burns, third-degree burns, facial burns, eye injuries, hand and arm burns, airway damage, infection, nerve injuries, contractures, scarring, and permanent disfigurement. Severe burns may require hospitalization, debridement, skin grafts, reconstructive surgery, rehabilitation, and years of follow-up care.

How Does the Problem Occur, and Who May Be Liable?

A DYCYRQ fire pit incident may begin with an overfilled burner, an unstable placement surface, spilled fuel, or an attempt to add alcohol before the unit has fully cooled. Fuel may also escape if the fire pit is bumped while people reach across the table for food or s’mores supplies.

Decorative stones can complicate the event because they may obstruct the user’s view of the fuel reservoir or hide liquid that has escaped. The stones and burner arrangement may also affect whether the product remains stable when touched or repositioned.

A legal investigation may examine the reservoir depth, fuel-fill markings, base stability, stone arrangement, mat dimensions, extinguishing tool, warning labels, cooling instructions, and recommended fuel. Investigators may also consider whether calling the product “safer” or including a fireproof mat could lead users to underestimate the remaining hazards.

Potentially responsible parties may include the manufacturer, importer, distributor, marketplace, online seller, component supplier, or fuel supplier. Liability depends on the product’s design, warnings, sales records, incident evidence, injuries, and applicable state law.

Who May Be Affected?

A person may be affected while filling, lighting, extinguishing, moving, or cleaning a DYCYRQ tabletop fire pit. Guests and family members seated nearby may also suffer burns even if they never touched the product.

Children may be attracted to the flame during s’mores preparation. Reaching with skewers, passing food across the table, or leaning toward the burner can place their faces, hands, hair, and clothing close to the fire.

Gift recipients may be affected without having seen the original product listing or safety information. Packaging, instructions, fuel recommendations, and order details may have been discarded before an incident occurs.

Hosts may also face significant property losses if burning alcohol spreads across a dining table, patio, balcony, deck, or indoor room. Fire damage may extend beyond the immediate burn injuries.

Do I Qualify?

  • Were you burned while using or sitting near a DYCYRQ tabletop fire pit or s’mores maker?
  • Did the product use rubbing alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, bioethanol, or another liquid fuel?
  • Did fuel spill into the cobblestones, onto the protective mat, or across the table?
  • Did the incident involve refilling, a hidden flame, a tip-over, an unstable surface, or an unexpected flare-up?
  • Did flames travel toward the fuel container or propel burning liquid toward another person?
  • Did you require emergency treatment, hospitalization, surgery, skin grafting, or long-term scar care?
  • Can you preserve the fire pit, stones, mat, burner, fuel bottle, packaging, photographs, or online purchase records?

The person who was injured does not need to be the purchaser or the person who lit the fire. A guest, child, family member, or bystander may still have a potential claim when the product or its fuel causes an injury.

Frequently Asked Questions About DYCYRQ Fire Pit Lawsuits

Is there a DYCYRQ fire pit recall?

There is currently no public CPSC recall involving DYCYRQ fire pits. The absence of a recall does not prevent an injured person from requesting an individual product liability review.

What are DYCYRQ fire pits used for?

DYCYRQ tabletop fire pits are used for indoor/outdoor décor, patio ambiance, outdoor dining, and s’mores preparation. Certain sets include cobblestones, a protective mat, and other accessories.

Does a fireproof mat prevent an alcohol fire?

A protective mat may reduce limited heat exposure beneath a fire pit, but it cannot necessarily contain spilled burning alcohol. Flames can spread past the mat or ignite objects positioned nearby.

Can cobblestones make a fire pit incident more difficult to investigate?

Yes. Stones may move during the incident, conceal spilled fuel, obscure the burner, or remain hot after the flame disappears. Their original arrangement should be photographed and preserved when possible.

What should I do with the fire pit after an injury?

Do not clean, test, refill, alter, or discard the product. Store it safely with the burner, stones, mat, fuel container, packaging, and extinguishing accessories.

Can a guest or child have a claim?

Possibly. The injured person does not have to be the buyer or operator of the fire pit. Evidence may show that the product exposed nearby guests or children to a foreseeable burn hazard.

What records can identify a DYCYRQ product bought online?

Useful records include order confirmations, marketplace receipts, payment statements, shipping labels, seller profiles, photographs, screenshots, packaging, and product identification printed on the unit.

Do I need proof of flame jetting?

Not every case requires a photographed jet of flame. Witness accounts, burn patterns, fuel-container damage, medical records, scene photographs, and expert analysis may help determine how the incident occurred.
