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

WOFITD tabletop fire pits are being reviewed as part of a broader nationwide investigation into alcohol-fueled fire pits associated with flame jetting, uncontrolled pool fires, and severe burn injuries. A WOFITD product listing describes a metal tabletop fireplace that burns bioethanol and uses an open fuel reservoir surrounded by tempered-glass panels.

WOFITD sells a metal-framed tabletop fireplace that burns bioethanol, a liquid alcohol fuel. The fuel sits in an open reservoir behind tempered-glass panels. This design can throw a sudden “pool fire,” or cause “flame jetting” if refilled near any flame.

Consumers have reported severe burns from tabletop fire pits built this way. Regulators have recalled or warned against several other brands over the same hazard. See Recall and Regulatory Background, below, for where WOFITD’s design fits.

Schmidt & Clark is reviewing potential burn-injury claims tied to alcohol tabletop fire pits, WOFITD included, as an attorney investigation only. No claim against WOFITD has been filed yet, and a case review does not promise eligibility or any result.

Latest WOFITD Fire Pit Lawsuit Updates

September 21, 2026: No WOFITD-Specific Action Confirmed

A check of Consumer Product Safety Commission records and federal court dockets found no WOFITD-specific action. That action falls under the broader liquid-fuel category CPSC first flagged in a December 19, 2024 Consumer Alert [1].

See Recall and Regulatory Background, below, for what that alert covers and how it applies specifically to WOFITD’s own fire pit design.

What Is a WOFITD Fire Pit?

WOFITD’s Tabletop Fire Pit (2024 Upgrade) is a metal-framed tabletop fireplace with four tempered-glass panels. That comes from its Nellis Auction listing [2]. It burns bioethanol, an alcohol-based fuel, in an open reservoir holding up to 550 milliliters.

No official WOFITD manufacturer or brand website was found. The open-reservoir, pour-and-ignite design is the style CPSC links to pool-fire and flame-jetting hazards. Other tabletop fire pit brands share it, covered below.

Who May Be Affected?

You may be affected if you own, use or were burned by a WOFITD tabletop fire pit. This is especially true if you added fuel while the unit still held any flame, no matter how small.

WOFITD’s fireplace is a metal-framed tabletop unit with four tempered-glass panels. It burns bioethanol poured into an open reservoir sized for about 550 milliliters of fuel, per the product’s Nellis Auction listing.

Burns from tabletop fire pits with this design have ranged from minor to severe. They have happened during lighting, use and refilling, and while standing nearby when a unit flared.

An individual legal review is the best way to know whether your circumstances support a claim. Schmidt & Clark offers a free case review for people burned by WOFITD or other alcohol tabletop fire pits.

Reported Injuries or Damages

No injury or damage reports name WOFITD specifically. CPSC’s warning on Rozato tabletop fire pits, a similar pour-and-ignite liquid-fuel design, describes the fuel hazard [3].

It states that isopropyl alcohol, ethanol and similar fuels burn at flame temperatures above 1,600°F. Those fuels can cause third-degree burns in under one second.

CPSC’s December 2024 Consumer Alert linked this hazard to two deaths. It also counted at least 60 injuries since 2019 among similar brands. The Alert’s records describe burns during lighting, use and refilling, the same situations WOFITD’s design creates.

Complaint allegations, regulator incident reports and medical evidence are different types of proof. Evidence to Preserve, below, lists the records that support an individual injury claim.

Recall and Regulatory Background

No CPSC recall or warning names WOFITD. The category-wide hazard traces to a CPSC alert issued December 19, 2024. It covers pour-and-ignite fire pits that violate the ASTM F3363-19 voluntary safety standard.

CPSC has since recalled about 48,700 Brookstone-branded tabletop fire pits over the same hazard [4]. It also warned against Rozato tabletop fire pits on April 2, 2026.

No multidistrict litigation covers this product category. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation lists none pending in its September 1, 2026 dockets report [5]. See the tabletop fire pit recalls page for the full category.

Evidence to Preserve

A WOFITD tabletop fire pit may have burned you or a family member. Gather and preserve the following items soon, since some evidence can be lost quickly:

  • The fire pit itself and its fuel container, unwashed if possible
  • Purchase records, order confirmations or the retailer listing page
  • Photographs of the unit, the burn area and any warning labels
  • Medical records, bills and treatment notes tied to the burn
  • Communications with the seller, retailer or manufacturer about the incident
  • Contact information for anyone who witnessed the incident

Preserving these items soon after an incident can matter to whether a future claim is supported. Evidence such as the unit itself can be lost, discarded or damaged if it is not set aside promptly.

Filing Deadlines

Deadlines for filing a legal claim come from state law, not from this page. They are not the same in every state.

They depend on where the injury happened and when it occurred. Some states start the clock at diagnosis rather than the day of the burn.

A missed deadline can end an otherwise strong claim. Anyone considering a claim over a WOFITD fire pit burn should speak with a lawyer promptly.

Potential Compensation

People burned by a defective tabletop fire pit may be able to seek compensation for certain categories. These can include medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost income, if a claim is supported by the facts and the law.

No verdict or settlement naming WOFITD or a closely comparable fire pit brand has been identified in court records or settlement notices.

Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Potential compensation is not estimated here. Only a case review can turn these categories into a number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Fuel Does a WOFITD Fire Pit Use?

WOFITD’s fire pit burns bioethanol in an open reservoir holding about 550 milliliters. With 2 glass panels in place, it burns about 140 to 150 minutes. With all 4 panels, about 110 to 120 minutes and a brighter flame.

Does WOFITD’s Fire Pit Warn Against Refilling It While Lit?

Yes, WOFITD’s fire pit listing warns against refilling fuel onto an open flame. It also tells users to clean up spilled alcohol before lighting the unit. That matches the flame-jetting hazard regulators describe for this fuel type.

Has CPSC Recalled WOFITD Fire Pits?

No, CPSC has not recalled WOFITD fire pits specifically. Anyone who had a safety incident with a WOFITD or similar liquid-fuel fire pit can report it to CPSC. SaferProducts.gov is the agency’s reporting channel.

Is There a WOFITD Fire Pit Lawsuit?

No, there is no WOFITD fire pit lawsuit yet: no individual claim has been filed. This is an attorney investigation only. Preserving evidence now is what can decide whether a future claim holds up. See Evidence to Preserve, above, for what to keep before it is lost.

Is There a WOFITD Fire Pit MDL or Class Action?

No, WOFITD has no fire-pit MDL or class action pending. The JPML’s dockets report, current September 1, 2026, lists no fire-pit multidistrict litigation. The only “fire”-named MDLs pending are MDL-3040 (Chrysler Pacifica Fire Recall) and MDL-3191 (Non-AFFF Firefighter Turnout Gear). Neither covers tabletop fire pits.

What Does the Evidence Show About Fire Pit Burn Injuries?

The evidence on fire pit burn injuries includes CPSC’s Rozato warning, which ties to WOFITD’s own open-reservoir, pour-and-ignite design. CPSC has used the same flame-temperature and burn-severity language in more than one liquid-fuel fire pit warning.

What Should I Do If I Was Burned by a WOFITD Fire Pit?

If you were burned by a WOFITD fire pit, seek medical care first. Then set aside the fire pit, photos, receipts and medical records before they are lost. Deadlines to file a claim vary by state, so speak with a lawyer promptly or request a free case review.
