Episode Details

A Navy veteran in San Diego is suing Amazon after a tabletop fire pit he bought in 2021 exploded, causing third-degree burns and permanent scarring. The device, which was recalled nearly 90,000 units in October 2024, allegedly wasn’t properly warned about its deadly risks — with Amazon’s recall notice being vague and the company still selling similar products. This isn’t an isolated case: similar fire pits are banned in Australia and Canada, and the CPSC issued a safety alert in December 2024 after multiple deaths and injuries. Just months ago, another explosion in San Diego injured three people at a backyard gathering. Trevino, once a hero rescuing others from danger, now battles daily pain — and his lawyers say Amazon must be held accountable for letting this lethal product reach consumers.
