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

People burned by a Greyhoo-branded tabletop fire pit may wonder whether a lawsuit or recall exists. The harm at issue is burns from pool fires and flame jetting, which CPSC describes as hazards of liquid-fuel tabletop fire pits. No Greyhoo lawsuit, class action, or multidistrict litigation has been found, and no CPSC recall or warning cited on this page names Greyhoo. A lawyer can review what happened to a person burned by a Greyhoo tabletop fire pit. CPSC did issue a category-wide alert in December 2024 for liquid-burning fire pits, and it has since named other brands. The alert tells consumers to stop using fire pits that violate a voluntary safety standard.

October 28, 2024: Class Action Filed Against Colsen Fire Pits

Plaintiff Shaneka Barnhart filed a class action against Colsen Fire Pits LLC in North Carolina federal court, accusing the company of violating consumer protection laws. ConsumerAffairs reported that the complaint alleges the company sold dangerous tabletop fire pits and failed to warn buyers [7]. These are allegations, not findings.

October 17, 2024: CPSC Recalls Colsen Fire Pits

CPSC announced Recall 25-015 of about 89,500 Colsen-branded fire pits after 31 reports of flame jetting or flames escaping, which resulted in 19 burn injuries [8]. CPSC’s notice says the firm stopped selling the fire pits and lacks the financial resources to offer a remedy, so consumers were told to dispose of them.

What Is a Liquid-Fuel Tabletop Fire Pit?

CPSC describes tabletop fireplaces as “small, decorative bowls or open containers.” Consumers pour isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol into the bowl. They ignite the pooled alcohol where it was poured [9]. CPSC says voluntary safety standard ASTM F3363-19 is designed to prevent pool fires and flame jetting in fire pit products that burn liquids.

Who May Be Affected?

Someone burned while refilling a tabletop fire pit with any flame present matches a circumstance CPSC’s December 2024 alert describes. Fuel poured near a flame can ignite and propel flames and burning liquid onto the pourer or bystanders. Lighting a pool of liquid fuel in an open container is a second circumstance. CPSC says it creates an uncontrollable pool fire that can suddenly produce larger, hotter flames and spread beyond the fire pit. A purchase record, a marketplace listing, or markings on the product may help show that a fire pit was Greyhoo-branded. Whether a burn leads to any claim depends on an individual legal review.

Reported Injuries or Damages

In the Colsen recall notice, CPSC says two incidents resulted in third degree burns to more than 40% of victims’ bodies. In the same notice, CPSC says at least six incidents led to surgery, prolonged medical treatment, burn treatment facility admission, short-term disability, loss of function, physical therapy, or permanent disfigurement. These figures come from CPSC reports, not complaint allegations, and a report does not prove that a fire pit caused every incident.

Recall and Regulatory Background

A recall or warning on another brand does not establish liability for Greyhoo. For more on recalls of other brands, see our page on tabletop fire pit recalls. No fire pit multidistrict litigation is on the JPML pending list, current as of September 1, 2026 [10]. Federal court records on CourtListener showed no case involving Greyhoo as of October 5, 2026 [11].

Evidence to Preserve

Keep these items, because they may show what happened and which product was involved:

• The fire pit itself, including the bowl or burner and any lid. Stop using it, as CPSC advises, and keep it as it is, without repairing or cleaning it. Ask a lawyer before throwing it away.
• The fuel container and any fuel left in it, along with the packaging, instructions, and warning labels.
• Photographs of the product, its brand markings, the scene, and the injuries, taken as soon as possible.
• The order confirmation, receipt, or marketplace listing that shows the brand and the seller.
• Medical records and bills for the burns, and any messages with the seller or retailer.
• The names of anyone who saw the incident, with their contact details.

Filing Deadlines

Time limits for an injury or product liability claim come from state law and depend on where a person lives and when the burn happened. A claim can end if a deadline passes, even when the facts are strong. Anyone burned by a fire pit should speak with a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can an Alcohol Fire Pit Flame Be Invisible?

Yes, an alcohol fire pit flame can be invisible, according to CPSC’s Colsen recall notice. The notice says invisible alcohol flames can lead to flame jetting when a person refills the fire pit reservoir.

Is There a Greyhoo Fire Pit Lawsuit?

No Greyhoo fire pit lawsuit has been found. The nearest case is a class action against Colsen, a different company, which seeks to represent affected buyers and asks for damages, costs, and a jury trial. Those are the plaintiff’s requests, not court findings.

What Does the Research Say About Tabletop Fire Pit Burns?

The research on tabletop fire pit burns shows how fast they happen. CPSC’s December 2024 alert says liquid fuels such as isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and ethanol/bioethanol burn at over 1,600°F and can cause third degree burns in less than one second.

What Else Are Tabletop Fire Pits Called?

Tabletop fire pits are also sold as fire pots, miniature fireplaces, or portable fires for indoor use, CPSC says. Those names cover fire pits meant to burn alcohol or other liquid fuel.

Should I Keep Using a Fire Pit That Burns Alcohol?

No, you should not keep using a fire pit that burns alcohol poured into an open bowl, CPSC says. Its warnings tell owners to dispose of these fire pits and not to sell or give them away. If you were hurt, ask a lawyer how to keep it as evidence.

Where Can I Report a Fire Pit Injury?

You can report a fire pit injury to CPSC at www.SaferProducts.gov. In its December 2024 alert, CPSC tells consumers to report both a dangerous product and a product-related injury on that site.
