People burned by a SAVGE Tornado or Halo tabletop fire pit may wonder whether a lawsuit exists. As of October 2, 2026, no federal lawsuit, class action or multidistrict litigation names SAVGE, and no CPSC recall names SAVGE either.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has warned about alcohol and other liquid-burning fire pits as a category. Its notices describe pool fires and flame jetting that can cause serious burns.
CPSC tells consumers to stop using and dispose of liquid-burning fire pits. Whether a SAVGE burn could support a claim depends on the facts, and only an individual legal review can say.
Latest SAVGE Fire Pit Lawsuit Updates
The entries below involve brands other than SAVGE or the category as a whole. Each is a CPSC recall, warning or alert about liquid-burning fire pits.
August 13, 2026: CPSC Announces Brookstone Recall
CPSC announced Recall 26-687 [1]. It covers about 48,700 tabletop fire pits sold under the Brookstone name and imported by Southern Telecom Inc. CPSC lists the hazard as uncontrolled pool fires and flame jetting.
Southern Telecom received two reports. Each described flame jetting and flames escaping the concrete container. The two injuries included second-degree and third-degree burns. The remedy is a full refund.
July 16, 2026: CPSC Warns Consumers About Houswise
CPSC warned consumers to stop using Houswise Tabletop Fire Pits (Warning 26-615) after more than two dozen reports resulting in seven injuries, including third-degree burns [2].
The notice cites flame jetting from fuel containers and uncontrolled pool fires. The products have been sold online since March 2023. Furmia LLC, the manufacturer, has not agreed to recall them or offer a remedy.
May 7, 2026: CPSC Warns Consumers About Northlight
CPSC told consumers to stop using Northlight Bio Ethanol Portable Tabletop Fireplaces (Warning 26-473) [3]. Retailer Gordon Companies Inc. has not agreed to a recall.
The company objects to the CPSC press release, which is its position and not a finding. The products were sold online, including at NorthlightSeasonal.com, Target.com and Walmart.com, for about $35 to $90 and made in China.
April 2, 2026: CPSC Warns Consumers About Rozato
CPSC issued Warning 26-364 on Rozato Tabletop Fire Pits [4]. CPSC says one death and multiple burn injuries have been associated with them. The warning tells consumers to stop using them.
Rozato, the retailer, has not agreed to recall these fire pits. They were sold online from 2022 to present for about $15 to $70, and they were manufactured in China.
September 18, 2025: CPSC Announces Five Below Recall
CPSC announced Recall 25-467 of about 66,000 Five Below tabletop fire pits [5]. Alcohol fuel can splash or leak from the reservoir and cause a flash fire.
Five Below received one report of flames escaping and no injuries. The fire pits were sold at Five Below stores from April 2024 through August 2025 for between $2.50 and $5. The remedy is a refund.
December 19, 2024: CPSC Issues Category Alert
CPSC issued Consumer Alert 25-074 telling consumers to stop using alcohol-burning and other liquid-burning fire pits that violate voluntary safety standards [6]. The alert covers the whole category of liquid-burning fire pits.
CPSC issued Warning 25-073 on FLIKRFIRE Tabletop Fireplaces the same day [7]. FLIKR LLC, the manufacturer, is no longer in business and has not agreed to provide a recall remedy.
October 17, 2024: CPSC Announces Colsen Recall
CPSC announced Recall 25-015 of about 89,500 Colsen-branded fire pits [8]. CPSC had received 31 reports of flame jetting. Flames also escaped from the concrete container, resulting in 19 burn injuries.
CPSC tells owners to stop using the fire pits and dispose of them. Two incidents left victims with third degree burns over more than 40% of their bodies. The manufacturer is Colsen Fire Pits LLC of Miami, Florida.
Who May Be Affected?
People burned while pouring liquid fuel into a fire pit with a flame still present may be affected. So may people burned when pooled fuel in an open container suddenly produced larger flames.
The CPSC Consumer Alert says liquid-burning fire pits are also sold as tabletop fire pits, fire pots, miniature fireplaces or portable fires for indoor use.
SAVGE lists its Tornado and Halo as tabletop fire pits. Only a legal review of your own facts can say whether a claim fits.
The SAVGE home page recommends isopropyl alcohol 91-99% as the primary fuel. The SAVGE Tornado page names bioethanol as its fuel, and the SAVGE Halo page calls it clean bioethanol [9, 10].
The shop page’s operating instructions say not to overfill and name isopropyl alcohol 91-99% or bioethanol gel as alternatives [11].
Reported Injuries or Damages
The figures below are regulator reports about the category or about other brands, and they are not allegations or findings about SAVGE.
The CPSC alert in the December 19, 2024 update above says liquid-burning fire pits have been associated with two deaths and at least 60 injuries since 2019. That is CPSC’s association language. It makes no causation finding about SAVGE.
CPSC also describes pool fires. Igniting a pool of liquid fuel in an open container creates an uncontrollable pool fire. The larger, hotter flames can spread beyond the fire pit.
The FLIKRFIRE warning in that same update says flame jetting contributed to the June 2024 death of an elderly couple. They were seriously burned when a third person tried to refill a unit that appeared to be extinguished.
The same notice describes at least three other incidents that caused third or fourth degree burns to extensive areas of the body.
Recall and Regulatory Background
The CPSC recall list has no recall naming SAVGE [12]. The JPML Pending MDL Dockets report dated September 1, 2026 lists no active MDL for tabletop or liquid-fuel fire pits [13].
The CPSC alert from the December 19, 2024 update says fire pits that require pouring liquid fuel into an open container and igniting the pooled liquid where poured violate voluntary standard ASTM F3363-19.

Evidence to Preserve
Keep the following items, if you have them, and store them together so they are easy to find if you speak with a lawyer:
- The fire pit itself and any packaging that shows the model name, Tornado or Halo, kept in the condition it is in now
- The fuel bottle and its label, which show what kind of fuel was in the fire pit when the burn happened
- The order confirmation, receipt or any messages from the seller that show where, when and from whom you bought it
- Photographs of the product, the fuel and the place where the burn happened, taken as soon as possible and before anything is moved or cleaned
- Medical records and medical bills that describe the burn, the treatment you received, follow-up visits and what it all cost
- A written account of what happened and who saw it, with the date, the place and the names of any witnesses
Filing Deadlines
Deadlines to file an injury claim come from state law, and they can differ with where you live and the kind of claim.
The time limit may also depend on the date of the burn and on the date you learned what caused it.
A missed filing date can end a case even when the facts are strong, so it is wise to ask a lawyer promptly.
Potential Compensation
If a claim succeeds, a court may consider categories such as medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering and scarring.
Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Potential compensation for a SAVGE claim has no average, range or amount.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a SAVGE Fire Pit Burn?
How long does a SAVGE fire pit burn? The SAVGE Tornado page states a 45-60 minute burn time, and the Halo page states a 90+ minute burn time. These are the seller’s own figures.
What Is Flame Jetting?
Flame jetting is a hazard CPSC describes when refilling a fire pit that burns liquid fuel. If any flame is present, the fuel can ignite as it is poured. The result is an explosion that propels flames and burning liquid onto the person pouring or bystanders.
How Hot Do Alcohol Fire Pit Flames Burn?
Alcohol fire pit flames burn at temperatures over 1,600°F, according to CPSC. The agency says isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, bioethanol and similar liquid fuels can cause third degree burns in less than one second.
What Does the Research Say About Tabletop Fire Pit Burns?
What the research says about tabletop fire pit burns comes from CPSC notices. The Colsen recall reports that at least six incidents involved surgery, prolonged medical treatment or permanent disfigurement. None concerns SAVGE.
Are SAVGE Fire Pits Still for Sale?
Are SAVGE fire pits still for sale? On October 2, 2026, savgehome.com listed the Tornado and Halo as “Sold out” in both color options. Availability can change, so check the website directly.
How Can I Report a Fire Pit Burn to CPSC?
How can I report a fire pit burn to CPSC? CPSC’s notices say that anyone who experienced a safety incident with these fire pits can report it to CPSC on SaferProducts.gov. The reporting line appears in notices on other brands and in the category alert.
