What happened

Bluworld/Nu-Flame has recalled certain wall-mounted fireplaces due to a fire and burn hazard. The fireplaces contain fuel cups with a capacity of either 2 or 3.4 liters that can be ejected when overfilled or when fuel is spilled during refilling attempts while the cup remains in place. This ejection poses a risk of fire or serious burns to users, bystanders, or nearby items. The recalled models are the Vivo NF-W4VIO (approximately 39 inches wide) and the Vivido NF-W3VIO (approximately 26 inches wide), both about 20 inches tall, which feature ethanol open flames behind tempered glass shields.

According to the recall notice, consumers who own a recalled wall-mounted fireplace should immediately stop using it and contact Bluworld/Nu-Flame to arrange a free repair.
