VEVOR sells alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits, including a compact model sold as the EH-011. It also sells a separate line of propane-fueled portable fire pits under the VEVOR name.
Federal and Canadian regulators link alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits to two hazards: uncontrolled pool fires and flame jetting. Both can throw burning fuel onto someone pouring or refilling the container. Burns can reach the second or third degree.
Health Canada recalled VEVOR’s own tabletop fire pit bowl for missing hazard labels. No VEVOR-specific U.S. recall exists. No lawsuit has been filed, and attorneys are investigating potential burn-injury claims involving VEVOR fire pits.
Latest VEVOR Fire Pit Lawsuit Updates
August 13, 2026: CPSC Recalls Brookstone-Branded Fire Pits
This recall does not involve VEVOR. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled about 48,700 Brookstone-branded tabletop fire pits after flame jetting and uncontrolled pool fires caused burn injuries in two reported incidents [1].
Southern Telecom Inc. imported and sold the recalled fire pits. The company received the two burn reports and is now offering owners a full refund for an affected unit.
July 16, 2026: CPSC Warns About Houswise Fire Pits
Like the Brookstone recall above, this warning does not name VEVOR either. CPSC warned consumers to immediately stop using Houswise-brand tabletop fire pits after more than two dozen reports of uncontrolled pool fires and flame jetting [2].
Seven injuries were reported, including third-degree burns. Maker Furmia LLC had not agreed to a recall or offered any consumer remedy as of the July 2026 warning date, CPSC said.
August 26, 2025: Health Canada Recalls the VEVOR Tabletop Fire Pit Bowl
Health Canada recalled the VEVOR Tabletop Fire Pit Bowl, model HP-008, for lacking required flame-jetting warning information on the product, according to the recall notice [3]. It is the only regulatory action that names VEVOR directly.
The recall falls under Canadian consumer-chemical rules and voluntary standard ASTM F3363-19. Full scope, affected units, and remedy details appear in Recall and Regulatory Background below.
December 19, 2024: CPSC Issues Category-Wide Fire Pit Alert
CPSC issued a category-wide Consumer Alert on this product type. It told consumers to stop buying or using, and told sellers to stop selling, alcohol- or liquid-fuel fire pits that violate voluntary standard ASTM F3363-19 [4].
The alert cited two deaths and at least 60 injuries linked to this product type since 2019. The alert does not name VEVOR specifically.
Who May Be Affected?
Someone burned while pouring, lighting, refilling, extinguishing, carrying, or sitting near a VEVOR alcohol-burning tabletop fire pit matches these circumstances.
So does anyone whose property was damaged by a resulting flame jetting incident, including one involving VEVOR’s recalled fire pit bowl.
VEVOR’s other propane fire pits use a different fuel system. They are not part of this alcohol-fuel hazard, so the fuel type of the unit involved matters.
Potentially responsible parties can include a fire pit’s maker, importer, distributor, retailer, or marketplace seller. Confirming whether a specific accident supports a claim takes an individual legal review of the product, the injury, and the surrounding facts.
Reported Injuries or Damages
Regulators describe thermal burns from pool fires and flame jetting in alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits like the EH-011-style model [5]. The model’s 0.15-liter chamber burns bioethanol or isopropyl alcohol.
These burns include second- and third-degree injuries. Complaints in the broader fire-pit litigation allege inadequate warnings. Those are allegations, not proven facts, separate from CPSC’s confirmed incident reports for other brands.
No VEVOR-specific injury has been confirmed: Health Canada’s recall states none were reported in Canada as of the recall date, and no U.S. VEVOR injury report has been found.
VEVOR’s propane fire pits, rated up to 58,000 BTU [6], ignite gas rather than pooled liquid fuel. That is a different mechanism than the flame-jetting hazard described above.
Recall and Regulatory Background
VEVOR’s recalled Tabletop Fire Pit Bowl (model HP-008) was pulled from the Canadian market on August 26, 2025. Health Canada found it lacked required flame-jetting hazard labels.
All 16 affected units were sold in Canada, only during December 2024. The remedy is straightforward: stop use and return the item to VEVOR for a refund, or dispose of it locally.
No comparable CPSC action names VEVOR in the United States. For other brands, see the broader tabletop fire pit recalls. A recall does not automatically establish liability.
Evidence to Preserve
Save this evidence right away after a VEVOR fire pit injury or any property damage:
- The fire pit itself, including the combustion chamber or fuel cup, burner, and any glass or propane components
- The extinguisher cover, fuel container, instructions, and warning labels
- Purchase receipts, online order records, and product photos or videos
- Fire department or incident reports, if any were filed
- Medical records documenting the injury and its treatment
- Witness contact information and photos of any property damage
Evidence like this helps establish which model was involved and how it was used. It also shows what happened next in a VEVOR fire pit injury or property-damage claim.
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines for a burn-injury or product-liability claim come from state law. The applicable period depends on where the injured person lives and files.
The clock generally starts running when the injury happened. Some states instead start it once the injury’s full extent was diagnosed by a doctor.
Missing this deadline can end a claim even when the underlying facts are strong, so speak with a lawyer promptly.
Potential Compensation
Categories of damages that may apply in an individual VEVOR fire pit burn-injury claim include emergency and hospital treatment. They also include burn-center care, surgery, skin grafting, rehabilitation, medication, and future medical costs.
Additional categories can include lost wages and reduced earning capacity. Others include pain and suffering, scarring or disfigurement, and property damage. All depend on individual case facts and applicable law.
Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. A lawyer can explain which potential compensation categories might apply to your claim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Has VEVOR Recalled Any Fire Pits?
Yes, Health Canada recalled VEVOR’s Tabletop Fire Pit Bowl in August 2025. The notice is also posted on the OECD Global Portal on Product Recalls for international visibility. No CPSC action names VEVOR.
What Should I Do If I’m Injured by a Fire Pit?
If you are injured by a fire pit, seek medical care right away, then report what happened to the manufacturer. For a VEVOR product, VEVOR can be reached at recalling@vevor.com, and Health Canada takes reports through its Consumer Product Incident Report Form.
What Fuel Do VEVOR Tabletop Fire Pits Use?
VEVOR’s tabletop fire pits, including the EH-011 model, burn bioethanol or isopropyl alcohol. The EH-011 itself weighs about 2.03 pounds (0.92 kilograms) and measures roughly 6.30 by 6.30 by 11.22 inches. That is small enough to carry easily between rooms or outdoors.
Does VEVOR Sell Propane Fire Pits?
Yes, VEVOR sells propane fire pits, apart from its alcohol-burning tabletop line. One 24-inch model, listed as item YSM24RPP(L)006, is rated for up to 58,000 BTU of heat output for larger gatherings.
What Is Flame Jetting?
Flame jetting happens when someone refuels a fire pit that is still burning or still hot, even if no flame is visible. Fuel vapor near the pour point ignites and shoots burning liquid outward too fast to dodge. It is the hazard cited in Health Canada’s VEVOR HP-008 recall.
Who Manufactures the Recalled VEVOR Tabletop Fire Pit Bowl?
The VEVOR Tabletop Fire Pit Bowl is manufactured by Deqing TOWNSTAR Stone Products Co., Ltd., according to Health Canada’s recall notice. The company is based in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China.
What Is an Uncontrolled Pool Fire?
An uncontrolled pool fire happens when fuel has pooled or spilled around a fire pit. It suddenly produces larger, hotter flames that spread beyond the container. CPSC’s alert covers this hazard for the alcohol-burning tabletop fire pits VEVOR sells, separate from flame jetting, which occurs during refueling.
