✓ Safety: no active recall — CPSC SaferProducts API queried 2026-09-06 by ProductName= ('fire pit', 'propane fire pit', 'fire bowl' and the brand name): no recall of a residential propane fire bowl or concrete fire table 2023–2026; the 2025–26 tabletop-fire-pit recalls are the ethanol 'flame-jetting' class, a different fuel. Propane: outdoor use only; every manual carries the same carbon-monoxide warning, and the manufacturers' shelter clause (a roof with no more than two side walls, or three walls with 30% of the perimeter open) is the definition of 'outdoors'.
