Tabletop Fireplace Recall Alert | Orange County News

A tabletop fireplace called Flikr Fire, fueled by rubbing alcohol, has been recalled after multiple severe burn injuries—including two deaths—due to sudden flash fires and dangerous flame jetting. Kids and adults in Southern California suffered serious burns while roasting marshmallows, with some needing airlifts to burn centers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall in December 2024, citing risks like uncontrollable flames and alcohol pooling. The device, sold online from 2018 to 2024 for $35–$105, was also recalled in Canada. With the manufacturer out of business, this serves as a sobering reminder: even simple gadgets can hide deadly risks when flammable liquids are involved.
