Issue

Glanzfeurer Tabletop Fire Pits are tabletop fire pits that require consumers to pour alcohol, including isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, into the bowl and then ignite the pooled alcohol in the same location it was poured. Isopropyl alcohol burns with flame temperatures over 1,600°F (871°C) and can cause third degree burns in less than one second. Igniting pooled alcohol in the affected products creates an uncontrollable pool fire, which can suddenly produce larger, hotter flames that can spread beyond the product. Flame jetting can occur when refilling fuel in Glanzfeurer Tabletop Fire Pit if any flame or hot surface is present. A flame in these affected products can be hard to see and the vapours inside the fuel container can ignite as it is poured into the fireplace. This can lead to flames violently shooting out of the fuel container or a dangerous explosion that propels flames and burning liquid onto the consumer or bystanders.
