Real Flame Arroyo and Hideaway Wood Burning Fire Pits Recalled for Fire Hazard

Real Flame is recalling approximately 700 Arroyo and Hideaway wood burning fire pits sold at Crate and Barrel because wood stored under the units can ignite, posing a fire hazard. One incident with minor property damage has been reported.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 2/5 (Moderate).

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly reports one incident with minor property damage and states no injuries have been reported. The hazard is a fire risk that was actualized but resulted in only minor property damage, and no hospitalizations or serious injuries are documented. This falls under precautionary recall with minimal reported harm.
