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

Plaintiffs in two reported lawsuits allege that tabletop fire pits caused serious burns and a failure to warn. This page covers where legal action stands for a person burned by a tabletop fire pit. The seller lists the HRANBOTY Tabletop Fire Pit w/ Smores Kit as a rectangular stainless steel model that uses ethanol fuel. CPSC reports burns from liquid-fuel tabletop fire pits as a category, and its alert names no HRANBOTY product. The current status is individual claim review only. As of the JPML report dated September 1, 2026, no multidistrict litigation has been formed for tabletop fire pits, and neither reported suit names HRANBOTY.

Latest HRANBOTY Fire Pit Lawsuit Updates

August 13, 2026: CPSC Announces Brookstone Fire Pit Recall

CPSC‘s Brookstone recall, number 26-687, covers about 48,700 Brookstone-branded tabletop fire pits [1]. The recall concerns pool fires and flame jetting, and the remedy is a refund. Its importer received two reports of flame jetting, with two injuries including second-degree and third-degree burns. The JPML pending MDL report dated September 1, 2026 shows no MDL for tabletop fire pits [2]. New filings could change that.

August 5, 2026: Trevino Sues Amazon and Colsen

Anthony Trevino sued Amazon and fire pit maker Colsen in San Diego Superior Court, according to a news report [3]. The Trevino complaint alleges a defective tabletop ethanol fire pit and no warning of an explosion risk. The complaint says a jet of flame hit his face and body. These are allegations, and the news report mentions no court finding.

July 16, 2026: CPSC Warns Consumers About Houswise Fire Pits

CPSC’s Houswise warning, number 26-615, warned consumers to stop using Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits [4]. CPSC counted at least 53,500 units. CPSC knows of more than two dozen reports of flame jetting, fuel leaking outside the fire pit and unexpectedly high flames. Seven injuries resulted, including third-degree burns. Houswise’s maker, Furmia LLC, has not agreed to recall these products.

April 2, 2026: CPSC Warns Consumers About Rozato Fire Pits

CPSC’s Rozato warning, number 26-364, told consumers to stop using Rozato Tabletop Fire Pits [5]. CPSC says they have been associated with one death and multiple burn injuries. Rozato has not agreed to a recall of these fire pits. CPSC urges consumers to stop using them immediately and dispose of them, and says nobody should sell or give them away.

December 19, 2024: CPSC Issues Category-Wide Fire Pit Alert

CPSC’s category-wide consumer alert, 25-074, covers alcohol and other liquid-burning fire pits [6]. According to CPSC, these products are also sold as tabletop fire pits, fire pots, miniature fireplaces, or portable fires for indoor use. CPSC calls these fire pits extremely dangerous and reports two deaths and at least 60 injuries associated with them since 2019. It tells sellers to stop selling them.

October 28, 2024: Barnhart Files Class Action Against Colsen

In the Barnhart class action, Shaneka Barnhart sued Colsen Fire Pits LLC in North Carolina federal court, as a news report describes it [7]. She alleges that Colsen sold tabletop fire pits that caused serious burn injuries and that it also failed to warn buyers of the risk. These are allegations, and no court finding or docket number is reported.

Who May Be Affected?

A person burned while pouring isopropyl alcohol, ethanol or another liquid fuel into a tabletop fire pit may be affected. So may someone burned while refilling one that still has a flame. CPSC says a small flame can be hard to see and can ignite liquid fuel as it is poured. That can propel flames and burning liquid onto the person pouring or onto bystanders. The seller listing for the HRANBOTY fire pit says to just add isopropyl alcohol, rubbing alcohol or bioethanol, 70% or higher [8]. Whether a person qualifies depends on an individual legal review of their facts.

Reported Injuries or Damages

In the December 2024 alert, CPSC reports burns from liquid-fuel fire pits as a category, including third-degree burns. The alert’s counts of deaths and injuries are regulator incident reports about the category, not complaint allegations. The Houswise and Rozato warnings above add injury reports for those brands, and the Brookstone recall above adds the importer’s reports of flame jetting. None of these regulator reports proves that a fire pit caused any one injury. Trevino’s complaint, as the news report describes it, alleges that the flame jet left him with massive burns and subsequent scarring. These are allegations, not court findings.

Recall and Regulatory Background

CPSC’s category-wide alert came before its recall of Brookstone fire pits and its warnings about Houswise and Rozato fire pits, which are described in the updates above. On its own, a recall or warning does not establish liability. The tabletop fire pit recall page covers each of the recalls and warnings in more detail.

Evidence to Preserve

A person who was burned may want to keep each of these items, because seller listings and other records can change or disappear:

• The fire pit itself, its packaging and any label showing the brand and model name.
• The order confirmation, the receipt and a screenshot of the seller listing.
• The fuel container and a note of which fuel was used in the fire pit.
• Photographs of the injury and of the place where the burn happened.
• Medical records and bills for every visit, treatment and follow-up for the burn.
• Messages with the seller, such as emails or chat logs, about this purchase.
• Any report number from SaferProducts.gov if the injury or product was reported there.

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines come from state law, so they vary with where a person lives and with when the injury happened. A claim can end if a deadline is missed, even when the facts are strong. A person who was burned should speak with a lawyer promptly to learn which deadline applies to their own claim.

Potential Compensation

Depending on the facts and the law, a claim may seek several kinds of damages. These include medical bills and burn-center care, surgery and skin grafting, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, scarring or disfigurement, and property damage. Trevino’s complaint, as reported, seeks compensation for lost earnings and medical expenses. That is a request in a complaint. It is not a result. Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Potential compensation is decided one claim at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Flame Jetting?

Flame jetting is when flames erupt from containers of liquid fuel, according to CPSC. CPSC says isopropyl alcohol, ethanol and similar fuels burn with flame temperatures over 1,600°F and can cause third-degree burns in less than one second.

Can Amazon Be Named in a Tabletop Fire Pit Lawsuit?

Amazon is a named defendant in one reported tabletop fire pit lawsuit, brought by Anthony Trevino. That complaint alleges Amazon sent recall notices saying only that the product may not meet current safety standards, not that it could explode. That is an allegation, with no Amazon response reported.

What Should I Do with a Liquid-Fuel Tabletop Fire Pit?

What to do with a liquid-fuel tabletop fire pit: follow the CPSC warnings above, and report any injury or unsafe product. Reports go to SaferProducts.gov or the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.

What Does the Research Say About Liquid-Fuel Fire Pits?

The research on liquid-fuel fire pits comes down to CPSC’s alert, which is an agency position and not a study. CPSC says designs that require pouring fuel into an open container and igniting the pooled liquid there violate voluntary safety standard ASTM F3363-19.

What Does the Seller Say About the HRANBOTY Fire Pit?

The seller listing says the HRANBOTY fire pit holds 450ml of fuel for a burn time of 60-80 minutes. It says the set comes with forks, a wooden serving board and an extinguisher. This is seller marketing copy.

Does the Seller Say the HRANBOTY Fire Pit Meets a Safety Standard?

The seller says the HRANBOTY fire pit meets a safety standard, because its listing says it is certified to ASTM F3363-19. That claim comes from the seller alone and is not an independent finding.
