Meijer Recalls Firepits

November 27, 2007
Meijer Inc. is recalling about 6,000 firepits. The legs of the firepit can bend or snap off during use, causing the firepit to tip over and in turn the fire can escape.

The firm has received reports of two incidents in which the legs of the firepits bowed in and buckled. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves the Grand Gourmet metal wood-burning firepits model FSQ279. The firepit is black, has four legs and two sparks guards on top. It measures 27 inches wide by 27 inches deep by 25 1/2 inches high. The model number can be found on the cover page of the product manual.

The firepits were sold at Meijer retail stores in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky from September 2004 through August 2007 for about $60. They were made in Taiwan.

Consumers should stop using the recalled firepits immediately and return them to their nearest Meijer retailer for a full refund.

Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Meijer toll-free at (866) 280-8419 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET or visit the company’s Web site at www.meijer.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
