A popular tabletop fire feature sold through Amazon has been recalled after a serious safety incident involving flame jetting.
Health Canada has recalled the ZGRMBO Decorative Tabletop firebox sold on Amazon due to a risk of flame jetting and potential for serious burns. This recall affects all individuals who have purchased or used this product. One injury has been reported in Canada.
This decorative tabletop fire feature is designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
The ZGRMBO Decorative Tabletop firebox is a small, open container meant to create a visible flame for ambiance. It requires users to pour isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) into a reservoir and ignite it. These products are often used on patios, balconies, or as indoor decor.
Flame jetting can occur if fuel is poured into the fire box while any flame or hot surface is present. This can cause flames or burning liquid to shoot out, leading to serious or fatal burns. Children and anyone nearby are at risk, especially since the flame can be hard to see.
Health Canada advises consumers to "immediately stop using it and safely dispose of it in such a way that it cannot be used again."
