The product, in the report: Co-Z Fire: Pure, Safe, Eco-Friendly Bio-Ethanol Fireplace Fuel sold in one quart bottle
On June 19th, my daughter and I were outside, sitting on a couch while reading next to our fire pit. We bought the fire pit at our local garden store (similar ones are available in numerous locations, including Restoration Hardware) and it uses bio-fuel. The label on this product reads, “Co-Z Fire: Pure, Safe, Eco-Friendly Bio-ethanol Fireplace Fuel” and we opted for this product since it burns clean (no unhealthy smoke) and seemed “safe”. When the flame appeared to be extinguished, my husband added more of the pourable fuel to the dish. Within an instance, the fire appeared to explode outward in an enormous fireball, landing on my daughter’s legs. We both jumped on top of her to extinguish the flames but they were relentless in a way that we’ve never seen. She suffered horrific 2nd and 3rd degree burns over 75% of her legs and spent 2 weeks at St. Francis’ Bothin Burn center.
From what I’ve read, she was fortunate. The injuries resulting from similar bio-fuel accidents can be significantly worse and cause irreparable damage and death. It also appears that this product has not been adequately tested and is somewhat unregulated due to its classification as a “decorative fire pot.” The labeling is completely misleading -- this product is far from “safe”.
We urge you to move forward with a ban on bio-fuel and are quite surprised and outraged that it has taken the CPSC as long as it has to address this ongoing issue. Burns from bio-fuel accidents are happening at an alarming rate and are entirely avoidable. Please take action before additional people (and children!) suffer at the expense of this product category that shouldn’t exist.
