Sharper Image Fire Pit Recall 2026: 265,000 Tabletop Fire Pits, How to Check Yours and Get a Refund

About 265,000 Sharper Image tabletop fire pits are being recalled because burning fuel can escape from them or shoot out of the fuel container, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on Nov. 12, 2026. If you own a Sharper Image Tabletop Fire Pit or Tabletop Infinity Fire Pit, stop using it now. The importer, Allstar Marketing Group, is offering a full refund, but you have to register, mark the unit and send photos first. Here’s how to tell if yours is included and exactly what to do.

What’s being recalled and why

The recall (CPSC number 27-082) covers two outdoor products sold under the Sharper Image name and imported by Allstar Marketing Group of Winston-Salem, North Carolina:

• Sharper Image Tabletop Fire Pit: a small cylindrical concrete body with a removable snuffing lid and an open burn chamber on top.
• Sharper Image Tabletop Infinity Fire Pit: a steel base with tempered-glass side panels.

According to the CPSC, ignited flammable liquid can escape from the recalled fire pits or trigger flame jetting from the fuel containers. Allstar has received four reports of burning fuel escaping during use, and all four led to injuries, including third- and fourth-degree burns to multiple parts of the body.

The fire pits were sold from January 2023 through June 2026 for $30 to $50 at Ace Hardware, Burlington, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Kohl’s, Marshalls, Nordstrom, Rite Aid, Target, TJ Maxx, Walgreens, Walmart and other stores nationwide, and online at Amazon.com and HSN.com. With that many retailers and a price that made them popular gifts, many households may have one on a patio table or tucked away in the garage for winter.

How to check if your fire pit is recalled

Flip the fire pit over and look for these markings, which the CPSC lists for both models:

1. A “77” logo on the front of the unit.
2. A Lot Code sticker in the center of the base.
3. A round black sticker marked “CHINA” with a five-digit code.
4. The letters KS-CY or KS-FC.
5. A date code in YYYY-MM-DD format.

If your Sharper Image tabletop fire pit matches that description, treat it as recalled. If you’re not sure, the CPSC recall page has photos showing where the lot code sticker sits, or you can call Allstar to confirm before you throw anything away.

How to get your refund, step by step

The refund process is a bit more involved than mailing a product back. Based on the instructions in the CPSC notice, here’s what to expect:

1. Stop using the fire pit immediately. Don’t light it again, even “just once more” before you register it.
2. Register online at firepitrecall.expertinquiry.com. You can also reach the recall page from allstarmg.com by clicking “Fire Pit Safety Recall” at the bottom of the page.
3. Write “RECALLED – DO NOT USE” on the fire pit in permanent marker.
4. Take and submit three photographs, following the instructions on Allstar’s recall page.
5. Wait for your registration to be confirmed. Only after that should you dispose of any leftover fuel according to your local hazardous-waste rules, then throw the fire pit away safely.

If you’d rather talk to someone, Allstar’s recall line is 855-215-5032, open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday. You can also email allstarmarketing6861@sedgwick.com.

Don’t pour leftover fuel down the drain

Liquid fire-pit fuel is flammable, so it shouldn’t go down a sink, into a storm drain or into regular trash while it’s still liquid. Keep it tightly capped and away from heat until you can take it to a household hazardous-waste drop-off. Your city or county website usually lists collection days and locations.

Why tabletop fire pits keep showing up in recalls

This isn’t the first warning about this kind of product. In 2025, the CPSC issued a consumer alert urging people to stop using fire pits that require pouring rubbing alcohol or another liquid fuel into an open bowl and lighting it. The agency said those products had been linked to two deaths and at least 60 injuries since 2019, and that alcohol and similar fuels burn at over 1,600°F and can cause third-degree burns in less than a second.

The biggest danger is flame jetting. The CPSC describes it as a sudden, possibly violent flash fire that happens when someone pours a flammable liquid near a flame or other ignition source. In a tabletop fire pit, the flame can be small and nearly invisible, especially in daylight or when the fuel is almost burned off. Pour more fuel on what looks like a dead fire, and the vapors can ignite and travel back into the bottle, pushing burning liquid out onto the person pouring and anyone nearby.

Health Canada notes that flame jetting happens so fast that users and bystanders can’t react in time to get out of the way.

Safer fire pit habits for the rest of the season

Cooler evenings are prime fire pit season, and a backyard fire is still one of the easiest ways to make a patio feel warm and inviting. Whatever kind of fire pit you use, these habits from CPSC and Health Canada guidance lower the risk:

• Never add liquid fuel to a lit or warm fire pit. Put the flame out with a snuffer, then let the unit cool completely before refilling.
• Never use gasoline to start or restart a fire, even if you think the first attempt didn’t catch.
• Prefer sealed, non-refillable fuel canisters over pourable liquid or gel fuel when your product allows it.
• Use fuel containers with a flame arrestor, the small screen in the spout that helps stop a flame from traveling into the bottle.
• Set the fire pit on a stable, level surface, away from people, overhanging branches, cushions and other flammable items.
• Keep a hose or fire extinguisher nearby, and skip the fire on dry, windy days when wildfire risk is high.
• Store fuel capped and away from heat, never inside the house near appliances or pilot lights.

Other recent household recalls to check
