Washington, D.C. Consumers who own Brookstone branded tabletop fire pits are being urged to stop using them after a federal recall announced Aug. 13 warned the products can cause serious or fatal burn injuries. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Southern Telecom is recalling the Brookstone branded tabletop fire pits because they can produce uncontrolled pool fires when fuel pools or is spilled, and can also cause flame jetting from fuel containers. The agency said those defects can result in flames spreading across pooled or spilled alcohol or fuel and in sudden jets of flame from fuel sources, posing a risk of severe burns or death to users and bystanders. The recall covers the tabletop fire pits sold under the Brookstone brand. Specific model, lot or UPC details were not provided in the notice; owners who are unsure whether their unit is included should consult the CPSC recall page for identifying information and next steps. Consumers affected by the recall are advised to stop using the fire pits immediately. The CPSC notice directs owners to contact the manufacturer, Southern Telecom, for information about refunds or replacement options. The agency did not list retailer information or the number of units recalled in the initial announcement. Consumers with questions about the recall, including how to identify recalled units and how to request a remedy, should refer to the official CPSC recall posting for contact details and additional guidance.
