Product Details
Incident Overview
On December 2, 2025, a consumer reported a serious incident involving a MoonSoll Bioethanol Fuel for Table Top Fire Pit. According to the report, while attempting to light the fire pit, the bioethanol fuel seemed to burn unusually fast, leading to an immediate flash fire. The flash reportedly ignited the consumer’s clothes, legs, and hands. Witnesses present during the incident corroborated the consumer’s observation, stating that the fuel appeared to burn faster than expected. The consumer sustained severe second and third-degree burns, which have resulted in permanent scarring on their legs. The consumer states the product was used in a safe manner.
Safety Concerns
This incident highlights several critical safety concerns associated with the MoonSoll Table Top Fire Pit and its accompanying bioethanol fuel:
- Flash Fire Hazard: The primary concern is the potential for a sudden and uncontrolled flash fire when lighting the fuel. A rapid ignition or burn rate can create an immediate and severe hazard for anyone in close proximity.
- Severe Burn Injuries: The reported second and third-degree burns are extremely serious, indicating high heat intensity and direct contact with flames. Such burns can lead to excruciating pain, infection, extensive medical treatment, and long-term complications including permanent scarring, disfigurement, and loss of mobility.
- Unpredictable Fuel Behavior: If the fuel burns faster than intended or expected, it poses an unpredictable risk. Consumers rely on consistent and controlled burn characteristics for safe operation of such products.
- Risk to Bystanders: Flash fires can affect not only the user but also anyone nearby. This increases the potential for multiple injuries or wider property damage if flammable materials are close.
- Property Damage Potential: A sudden flash of flame can easily ignite nearby curtains, tablecloths, furniture, or other flammable household items, leading to significant property damage or even structural fires.
The reported permanent scarring on the consumer’s legs underscores the long-term impact such incidents can have on victims’ lives, extending beyond immediate physical pain to psychological and emotional trauma.
