WASHINGTON, DC — More than 200,000 Sharper Image tabletop and infinity fire pits are being recalled because of a burn and fire hazard that can let ignited fuel escape from the unit. The recall warning says flame jetting can also occur from the fuel containers, creating a serious risk for anyone nearby.
The products have already been tied to four reports of ignited fuel escaping. Those incidents caused four injuries, including third- and fourth-degree burns to multiple parts of the body. Consumers who bought one of the recalled fire pits are being told to stop using it right away and contact Allstar for a full refund.
How the recalled fire pits can become dangerous
The hazard involves the way the fire pits handle flammable liquid. According to the recall, when the fuel ignites, it can escape from the unit instead of staying contained in the burn chamber. That can put users and people standing nearby at risk of severe burns.
The recall also warns of flame jetting from the fuel containers. That means a sudden burst of flame can shoot out during use, creating a danger that is not limited to the person operating the fire pit. The recall notice does not say every unit will fail this way, but it says the risk is serious enough to justify removing the products from use.
Which Sharper Image models are included in the recall
The recalled items include Sharper Image-Branded Tabletop Fire Pits and Sharper Image-Branded Tabletop Infinity Fire Pits. The tabletop model has a small cylindrical concrete body with a removable snuffing lid and an open burn chamber at the top.
The infinity version has a steel base and tempered-glass side panels. Buyers can identify the recalled units by a “77” logo on the front, a lot code sticker in the center of the base, a round black sticker marked “CHINA” with a five-digit code, the letters KS-CY or KS-FC, and a date code in YYYY-MM-DD format.
Where the fire pits were sold and when shoppers bought them
The recalled fire pits were sold nationwide at major retailers and online. Stores listed in the recall include Ace Hardware, Burlington, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Kohl’s, Marshalls, Nordstrom, Rite Aid, Target, TJ Maxx, Walgreens and Walmart, along with other sellers across the country.
They were available from January 2023 through June 2026. That long sales window means the products may still be in homes, on patios or in storage even if they were purchased years ago. The recall is aimed at making sure owners check their units now, rather than waiting until they plan to use them again.
What customers should do if they own one of the recalled units
Anyone who has one of the recalled Sharper Image fire pits should stop using it immediately. The recall notice directs consumers to contact Allstar to get a full refund.
Because the danger involves fire and burn risks, the warning is not limited to owners who have already had trouble with the product. Even if the unit appears to work normally, it should be taken out of service. Consumers should follow the refund instructions provided through the recall process and avoid lighting the device until it has been resolved.
Why this recall matters for households using tabletop fire pits
Tabletop fire pits have become a popular outdoor product because they are small, portable and easy to set up. But the recall shows how a fuel-related problem can quickly turn a decorative or recreational item into a household hazard.
With injuries already reported, the warning underscores the need for owners to check model markings and lot information before using a fire pit again. For consumers, the key takeaway is simple: if the unit matches the recalled Sharper Image products, it should not be used until the refund process is completed.
