Nearly 90,000 Colsen -branded tabletop fire pits sold by major retailers nationwide are being recalled.

The products are a burn and fire hazard in that alcohol flames can be invisible and lead to flame jetting when the pit reservoirs are filled, causing fire to flash back to the containers, unleashing burning alcohol onto people nearby.

19 people have been burned, some requiring surgery and others permanently disfigured.
