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

People searching for a JHY Design fire pit lawsuit want to know whether a case exists. The concern is burn injury from tabletop fire pits, including flame jetting when someone refills a firepot that is still burning. No lawsuit, class action or MDL against JHY Design is on record. Nobody has alleged in a filed case that a JHY Design product caused an injury. The current status is attorney review only. Health Canada recalled JHY Design Tabletop Firepots in Canada in 2021 over missing labelling and hazard information. The CPSC notices cited here name other brands or liquid-burning fire pits in general, not JHY Design.

Latest JHY Design Fire Pit Lawsuit Updates

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

CPSC warned consumers to stop using Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits immediately in Warning 26-615. It cites a risk of serious burn injury or death from flame jetting and fire hazards [1]. This concerns another brand and is not a JHY Design finding. CPSC describes more than two dozen reports, resulting in seven injuries, including third-degree burns. The manufacturer, Furmia LLC, has not agreed to a recall.

May 7, 2026: CPSC Warns About Northlight Tabletop Fireplaces

CPSC posted Warning 26-473 as a product safety warning, telling consumers to stop using Northlight Bio Ethanol Portable Tabletop Fireplaces immediately [2]. The notice covers a brand other than JHY Design. It cites the same flame jetting and fire hazards named for Houswise. Gordon Companies Inc. is the retailer, and it has not agreed to a recall of these fireplaces.

December 19, 2024: CPSC Issues Alert on Liquid-Burning Fire Pits

CPSC issued Consumer Alert 25-074 urging consumers to stop using alcohol or other liquid-burning fire pits that violate voluntary standard ASTM F3363-19 [3]. CPSC calls them extremely dangerous. The alert names no JHY Design product. It names two hazards, an uncontrollable pool fire and flame jetting, where a small flame can be hard to see and can ignite fuel as it is poured.

October 8, 2021: Health Canada Expands JHY Design Firepot Recall

Health Canada expanded its recall of various JHY Design Tabletop Firepots (RA-76615) because of missing labelling and hazard information [4]. The notice adds a ninth item, a rectangular four-sided glass model, to the eight items in the original notice (RA-62845). Health Canada says consumers should immediately stop using the recalled products.

What Is Flame Jetting?

Health Canada describes flame jetting as a fire or burn hazard. It occurs when fuel vapours around a poured fuel stream ignite as a user refuels a portable fire product [5]. The product may still be burning, or hot with no flame in view. Flaming fuel can burst toward the user and bystanders, too fast for them to move away. Health Canada cited this hazard in its JHY Design recall.

Who May Be Affected?

You may be affected if you refilled a JHY Design tabletop fire bowl pot while it was burning, or hot but showing no visible flame. You may also be affected if you stood near someone who did. The same goes if you own one of the nine models on Health Canada’s recall list. They were sold in Canada through JHY Design Inc. and Amazon.ca from December 2020 to September 2021:

• Black Small, ASIN B07WZQXTCX
• Rectangular 13.5″L Black, ASIN B08972MR7B
• Round Large Silver, ASIN B0828MWDS8
• Round Glass 13.5″ Tall Black, ASIN B08976K8Q7
• Diamond 14.5″ Tall Black, ASIN B08971FV5W
• Silver Small, ASIN B0828NBX5Q
• Round Extra Large Black, ASIN B08B1MY12W
• Round Large Black, ASIN B08B1L36BX
• Rectangular with Four-sided Glass 13.5″L Black, ASIN B08976187L

CPSC Warning 25-073 gives a bystander example with another brand. Flame jetting contributed to the June 2024 death of an elderly couple [6]. They were seriously burned when a third person attempted to refill a FLIKRFIRE that appeared to be extinguished. This was not a JHY Design incident. Whether you qualify requires an individual legal review.

Reported Injuries or Damages

No injury is alleged against JHY Design in any filed case. Health Canada’s expanded notice says the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada as of September 15, 2021. The firepots do not meet the labelling required by the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001, according to Health Canada. Health Canada says this could contribute to a flame jetting incident and lead to serious illness, injury or death. CPSC’s Consumer Alert 25-074 gives figures for the fire pits it describes. CPSC says they have been associated with two deaths and at least 60 injuries since 2019. Reports do not prove a product caused every incident.

Recall and Regulatory Background

Health Canada names Ningbo New Image Gifts as the manufacturer. The recall applies in Canada only, and the company reported about 300 units sold there. The notice says the firepots lack the labelling that ASTM F3363-19 or an equivalent requires. A recall does not prove liability. For the wider category of fire pit hazards, read the tabletop fire pit recall lawsuit page.

Evidence to Preserve

Keep anything that shows what you used, how you used it and what happened afterward. The ASIN list above can help you match your product to a model on the recall list. Useful items to keep include:

• The fireplace or fire bowl pot, its burner, glass or frame parts, and the model name, SKU or ASIN
• The fuel container and a note of the fuel you used
• The packaging, manual and labels that came with the product
• Order records, receipts and seller details from JHY Design or Amazon.ca
• Photographs and video of the product, the scene and the injury
• Medical records for your burn treatment
• Fire or emergency reports about the incident
• Names of witnesses who saw the incident
• Messages with the seller

Filing Deadlines

Filing deadlines for burn injury claims come from state law and depend on where you live and when the burn happened. A claim can end if the deadline passes, even with strong facts. Check with a lawyer promptly to learn which deadline applies to your situation. An early review leaves more time to gather records and evidence.

Potential Compensation

Possible categories of damages may include these items, where applicable law allows:

• Emergency treatment and hospital care
• Burn-center care, surgery and skin grafting
• Medication, rehabilitation and scar treatment
• Future medical costs
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering, scarring and disfigurement
• Property damage

Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Potential compensation depends on your injuries, your records and the law that applies to your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Do Tabletop Fire Pits Burn so Severely?

Tabletop fire pits can burn so severely because liquid fuels burn with flame temperatures over 1,600°F, CPSC says. Contact with these flames can cause third degree burns in under one second. Fuel can also form an uncontrollable pool fire whose flames spread beyond the product.

What Should I Do If I Own a JHY Design Tabletop Fire Pit?

If you own a JHY Design tabletop fire pit on Health Canada’s list, immediately stop using it. Health Canada says you may email the manufacturer, Ningbo New Image Gifts, at sales2@newimagegifts.com. The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits redistributing, selling or giving away recalled products in Canada.

What Does CPSC Say About Liquid-Burning Fire Pits?

CPSC says some liquid-burning fire pits make consumers pour isopropyl alcohol or other liquid fuel into an open container and ignite it where it pools. CPSC is the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

What Is ASTM F3363-19?

ASTM F3363-19 is the Standard Specification for Unvented Liquid/Gel Fuel-Burning Portable Devices, in Health Canada’s wording. CPSC says the standard is designed to prevent pool fires and flame jetting in liquid-burning fire pits.

What Fuel Do Two JHY Design Fireplace Models Use?

Two JHY Design fireplace models list different fuels. The page for the 10.5″ H Tabletop Fire Bowl Pot Fireplace (SKU 5053W) lists bioethanol, isopropyl or rubbing alcohol, spirit and gel fuel. The cylindrical model’s page lists bioethanol only.

What Does JHY Design Say About Refilling the SKU 5053W Fireplace?

JHY Design’s refilling instructions for the SKU 5053W fireplace say never to pour fuel into the burning flame. They say to allow at least 15 minutes for the burner to cool and never to refill while the fireplace is operating or still hot.
