High riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Northlight bio ethanol portable tabletop fireplaces recalled. The Northlight Bio Ethanol Portable Tabletop Fireplaces requires consumers to pour ethanol into the burner and then ignite the pooled ethanol fuel in the same location it was poured. Flame jetting occurs when fuel vapours around a poured fuel stream ignite when a user refuels a portable fire product that is still burning, possibly when a flame is not readily visible. It can also occur when the flame is extinguished but the device is still hot. This can result in a burst of flaming fuel being rapidly expelled out of the container and travelling a distance dangerous to the user and bystanders. Flame jetting occurs very quickly, so the user and/or bystanders are unable to react quickly enough to move away from an incoming flame jet. Please visit this page for more information on flame jetting and portable products that use pourable alcohol-based fuels. As of October 15th 2025, the company has received no reports of incidents or injury in Canada. Published 2025-10-21.
