  1. No incident, no one hurt

    Made Sep 24, 2026, sent to the company Sep 29, 2026, published by CPSC Oct 14, 2026

    The product, in the report: Gas-fueled fire pits have been a hot trend in recent years, sold at a wide variety of retailers across the country. This week, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of a fire pit sold under the Hampton Bay name through Home Depot. Hampton Bay 50,000 BTU, 30 inch Cross Ridge Outdoor Gas Fire Pit Table Patio Heater The s are being recalled because the bowl base of the fire pits lack a heat shield to protect consumers from burns while turning off the propane tank after use, posing a burn hazard. The fire pits in question have an antique bronze finish with a natural slate tabletop and black base that holds a propane tank. Affected model numbers are G-FTB51057B and UPC 6944937601579. These fire pits were sold at Home Depot stores and online from August 2016 through November 2017.

    Our fire pit caught on fire during our annual Christmas Party. We had it on for guests who wanted heat. No one was by it when my wife came and told me the fire pit was on fire. I looked out the window and saw flames coming from underneath where the gas tank was. I got the fire extinguisher from under the kitchen sink and put the fire out. I turned off the gas with a oven mitt and left it until the morning to cool. It did not cause damage to our deck or anything else as it was standing alone from other furniture. I wasn’t sure about the propane tank so I discarded it to be safe.

    My 17 year old son was turning the gas off after using the fire pit for the evening with his friends. When he reached under to turn off the gas tank his hand bumped up against the pit and he burned his arm.
