Hazard

The legs of the firepit can bend or snap off during use, causing the firepit to tip over and in turn the fire can escape. This poses a fire hazard to consumers.

Consumers should stop using the recalled firepits immediately and return them to their nearest Meijer retailer for a full refund.

Incidents & injuries

The firm has received reports of two incidents in which the legs of the firepits bowed in and buckled. No injuries have been reported.
