TqsMsp sells a portable ceramic tabletop fire pit that burns poured isopropyl alcohol or ethanol in an open bowl. It uses the same pour-and-ignite design. That design lies behind a wave of burn-injury reports across the tabletop fire pit category.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has linked this pour-and-ignite design to burn injuries and deaths. In December 2024, it warned that pooled fuel can flare into a sudden “pool fire.” It can also explode into “flame jetting” during refilling.
No lawsuit, recall, or CPSC action naming TqsMsp has turned up. Attorneys are reviewing whether TqsMsp-brand fire pits share the defect the agency described. For now, this page tracks an attorney investigation rather than a filed case.
Latest TqsMsp Fire Pit Lawsuit Updates
September 1, 2026: Federal Docket Shows No Fire Pit MDL
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation keeps a pending-MDL docket report, dated September 1, 2026. It lists no multidistrict litigation covering tabletop or liquid-fuel fire pits, the category that includes TqsMsp [1].
That means any TqsMsp-related claim would currently proceed on its own, as an individual lawsuit. No court has yet been assigned to hear fire pit claims together as a group.
December 19, 2024: CPSC Issues Nationwide Fire Pit Alert
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) alerted consumers nationwide to stop using pour-and-ignite fire pits – TqsMsp’s design [2]. It linked the category to two deaths and at least 60 injuries since 2019.
The agency said pooled fuel can suddenly flare into a larger fire. Refilling while any flame is present can also cause an explosion that reaches the person pouring it.
Who May Be Affected?
Someone who bought, used, or was near a TqsMsp fire pit and was burned may be affected. That includes a sudden pool fire. It also includes an explosion from refilling while a flame was still present.
TqsMsp has sold its ceramic tabletop fire pit through Amazon and other online marketplaces since at least December 2023. Anyone who bought one during that period and was later burned falls within the group attorneys are reviewing.
That group can include the person who poured the fuel. It can also include a family member standing nearby, or a bystander caught by burning liquid from the container.
Because no lawsuit or recall names TqsMsp yet, only an individual legal review can confirm whether a case qualifies. That review looks at how the fire pit was used and the injury records.
Reported Injuries or Damages
No injury report names a TqsMsp fire pit in CPSC’s alert, recall records, or news coverage. That absence does not mean no TqsMsp injury has happened – only that none is publicly reported yet.
TqsMsp is one brand in the pour-and-ignite tabletop fire pit category CPSC named in its alert. The same alert cited above documents burns and fatalities across that category. That category includes the pour-and-ignite fuel-bowl design TqsMsp uses.
Those figures cover every brand using this design. TqsMsp is not named among them. Reported injuries in the category include second- and third-degree burns to the hands, arms, and torso. These burns come from pool fires and flame jetting.
Recall and Regulatory Background
No recall or warning names TqsMsp. CPSC’s December 2024 alert already covers TqsMsp’s pour-and-ignite design. The agency also separately recalled about 48,700 Brookstone-branded tabletop fire pits on August 13, 2026, after two burn-injury reports [3].
Colsen’s fire pits were recalled October 17, 2024, for the same pool-fire and flame-jetting hazard [4]. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation.
Owners of any pour-and-ignite fire pit should stop using it. They should also check the tabletop fire pit recall page for brand-by-brand detail.
Evidence to Preserve
Anyone considering a claim over a TqsMsp fire pit injury should keep the following:
- The fire pit itself and its fuel container, unwashed and unrepaired
- The original box, receipt, or order confirmation naming the brand and model
- Photographs of the fire pit, the burn scene, and any visible defect
- Medical records and photographs documenting the injury and its treatment
- Any messages exchanged with the seller or manufacturer about the product
- The clothing worn at the time of the injury
None of this needs to be sent anywhere yet. Storing it in one place, with dates noted, keeps it usable if a claim moves forward later.
Filing Deadlines
State law sets the deadline for a burn-injury claim, and it is not the same everywhere. How long a person has depends on where they live and when the injury happened.
Some states start the clock on the injury date. Others start it when the injury is discovered or diagnosed. Missing the applicable deadline can end an otherwise strong claim, no matter how clear the facts are.
Anyone considering a TqsMsp fire pit claim should talk to a lawyer soon to confirm the deadline that applies. Doing so early helps make sure evidence and records are not lost.
Potential Compensation
A burn-injury claim over a tabletop fire pit can conditionally cover several categories. These include medical treatment and future care, lost income, and pain and suffering. A death may add funeral and burial costs.
Whether any of these apply, and how much, depends entirely on the facts of an individual case. Those facts include the burns suffered, the medical bills, and the proof connecting the product to the injury.
Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Potential compensation becomes a specific number only after an individual case review, never from a formula.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Has TqsMsp Been Selling Its Fire Pit?
TqsMsp’s online store was registered on December 9, 2023, and the fire pit has been listed for sale since at least then, including on Amazon under ASIN B0C661R1CT.
What Fuel Do TqsMsp Fire Pits Use?
TqsMsp fire pits use isopropyl alcohol or ethanol as fuel. The fuel is poured into an open ceramic bowl and lit where it sits. Amazon lists the product as a “Ceramic Tabletop Fire Pit, Portable Ethanol Fire Bowl, Mini Rubbing Alcohol Fireplace.”
What Is Flame Jetting?
Flame jetting is an explosion during refilling that can happen in a fire pit like TqsMsp’s. It happens when a flame – even one too small to see – is still burning inside the pit. CPSC says these fuels burn above 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit and can cause third-degree burns almost instantly.
What Should I Do to Prepare for a TqsMsp Fire Pit Lawsuit?
To prepare for a TqsMsp fire pit lawsuit, get medical care first. Then keep the fire pit and its fuel container. You can also report the incident to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov while gathering evidence for a possible legal claim.
Has TqsMsp Issued a Fire Pit Recall?
TqsMsp has not issued a fire pit recall, and CPSC has not recalled the brand by name. That is why CPSC’s broader alert still covers TqsMsp.
What Does CPSC’s Research Say About Tabletop Fire Pit Fires?
CPSC’s research on tabletop fire pit fires finds that pour-and-ignite designs violate a voluntary safety standard, ASTM F3363-19. That standard exists to prevent both pool fires and flame jetting. The agency wrote it because pooled fuel ignited in an open container burns unpredictably.
