What lawsuits or regulatory actions have been filed against Burn Peak and their outcomes?
This fact-check may be outdated. Consider refreshing it to get the most current information.
Executive summary
Available reporting shows multiple consumer complaints and third‑party lawsuits over products using the name “Burn Peak” or similar — largely in two categories: tabletop fire pits linked to flashback explosions and a dietary supplement called Burn Peak that draws consumer fraud complaints. Reported actions include recalls and lawsuits tied to alcohol‑fueled tabletop fire pits and numerous consumer complaints/reports of alleged scams against the Burn Peak supplement; specific federal or state enforcement actions directly naming the Burn Peak supplement are not documented in the provided sources [1] [2] [3] [4].
1. Fire pits, flashbacks and a wave of lawsuits — what’s public
Lawyers and consumer safety groups are pursuing product‑liability claims tied to tabletop fire pits that can “flashback” or jet flames when refueled with isopropyl alcohol; plaintiff firms and mass‑tort promoters list brands and unbranded models sold through Amazon, Walmart and others and point to CPSC recalls and safety notices as part of the evidence stack [1] [5]. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued recalls — for example, a Five Below tabletop fire pit recall for fuel splashing and flash fires — and Amazon began sending safety warnings to customers after reports of explosions and flame‑jetting incidents [1] [6]. Localized civil suits include a Washington couple suing TJX/Marshalls after a tabletop fire pit explosion that allegedly caused severe burns [1].
2. Burn Peak the supplement — consumer complaints, not (yet) public enforcement
Consumer review sites and scam trackers show multiple complaints about a supplement sold as Burn Peak: Trustpilot entries describe customers alleging adverse interactions, unresponsive customer service and subscription/refund problems [2]. The Better Business Bureau’s Scam Tracker includes a report from a shopper who lost roughly $296 after ordering Burn Peak and claims the product was promoted via a false Oprah endorsement [3]. A sponsored press release and marketing pieces position Burn Peak as a newly launched weight‑loss product, but independent reporting of regulatory actions against the supplement is not found in the supplied materials [7] [4]. Available sources do not mention any FDA warning letters or state attorney‑general suits specifically naming the Burn Peak supplement [2] [3] [4].
3. Legal outcomes reported so far — recalls and settlements in related product lines
For tabletop fire pits, the record in provided sources shows active recalls and ongoing litigation rather than finalized large public verdicts tied to every defendant: the CPSC recall of 66,000 Five Below units and Amazon safety notices are concrete regulatory steps; lawyers are prosecuting multiple suits alleging design defects and failure to warn, but the sources chiefly document filings and recalls rather than broad, final settlements against all named manufacturers [1] [5] [6]. For victims of other large burn incidents (unrelated corporate “Burn Peak” branding), there are examples of substantial burn verdicts and settlements generally described in legal firm materials, but those are illustrative of burn‑injury damages rather than outcomes against the Burn Peak entities in question [8] [9].
4. How to read the evidence — competing narratives and potential agendas
Plaintiff attorneys and consumer safety outlets emphasize product danger and regulatory failures; retailers and platforms (e.g., Amazon) have reacted with warnings and recalls, suggesting some official acknowledgement of hazard [1] [6]. Conversely, marketing materials for the Burn Peak supplement frame the product as scientifically formulated and newly launched, seeking to counterbalance consumer complaints with promotional claims [7] [4]. Review platforms and scam trackers may reflect individual negative experiences and potential bad actors in supply chains (third‑party sellers, subscription traps), but they do not by themselves prove regulatory misconduct or criminal fraud; those determinations require formal regulatory or court findings, which the supplied sources do not show for the supplement [2] [3] [4].
5. What’s missing and the limits of current reporting
There are documented recalls and active lawsuits for alcohol‑fueled tabletop fire pits [1] [6] [5]. However, the available sources do not report any federal enforcement action (FDA, FTC or state AG) or a court judgment specifically naming the Burn Peak dietary supplement company; available sources do not mention FDA warnings or attorney‑general lawsuits against the Burn Peak supplement [2] [3] [4]. Likewise, detailed settlement figures or court rulings resolving the tabletop fire pit litigation broadly are not provided in the cited material [1] [5].
6. Practical takeaways for readers and potential plaintiffs
If you were injured by an alcohol‑fueled tabletop fire pit, the cited materials show active legal channels and recalls that could support a product‑liability claim; law firms are soliciting clients and regulators have issued recalls and safety notices [1] [5] [6]. If your complaint concerns the Burn Peak supplement — non‑delivery, subscription charges, adverse reactions — file documentation with seller/payment provider and consider reporting to the BBB and state consumer protection office; current sources document consumer complaints and scam reports but no confirmed regulatory enforcement against the supplement [2] [3] [4].
