Fire Pit Burn Injury Lawyers

Fire pits have become a popular addition to backyards, patios, campgrounds, and rental properties across the United States. Marketed as a safe way to enjoy outdoor gatherings, fire pits are available in permanent, portable, and tabletop designs. Unfortunately, defective or poorly designed fire pits can cause serious burn injuries, house fires, and wrongful death.

If you or a loved one were injured by a fire pit, you may be entitled to bring a product liability lawsuit against the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer. The Law Offices of Jason Turchin represents victims nationwide who were harmed by unsafe fire pits, outdoor heaters, and similar products.

Why Fire Pits Can Be Dangerous

Fire pits combine open flames, heat, and flammable materials. When defects occur, or when manufacturers fail to provide adequate warnings, the risks increase dramatically. Common hazards include:

• Exploding fire glass or stones – Heating materials shattering and sending shards flying.
• Fuel mismanagement – Propane, natural gas, or ethanol fire pits catching fire or exploding.
• Tipping or collapsing units – Portable pits falling over and spreading flames.
• Insufficient barriers – Lack of protective screens leading to clothing or skin contact with flames.
• Electrical failures – Outdoor heaters sparking or catching fire.

Types of Injuries From Fire Pit Accidents

Victims may suffer:

• Second- and third-degree burns on hands, arms, legs, or face
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Inhalation injuries from smoke or toxic fumes
• Eye injuries from shattering fire glass
• Wrongful death in house fires or severe burn cases

Fire Pit Recalls

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced multiple recalls for fire pits and outdoor heaters. Examples include:

• Tabletop fire pits recalled due to explosion and burn risks.
• Outdoor heaters recalled for tipping hazards and fuel leaks.
• Propane-powered fire pits recalled for faulty gas regulators.

These recalls demonstrate that even products marketed as safe may be defective.

Who May Be Liable in a Fire Pit Burn Lawsuit?

Depending on the circumstances, liability may fall on:

• Manufacturers – For defective designs, faulty construction, or unsafe materials.
• Retailers – For selling defective fire pits.
• Distributors/importers – For placing unsafe products in U.S. markets.
• Property owners – In some cases, landlords, hotels, or vacation rental hosts may also be liable.
