Target Recalls Menorahs Due to Fire Hazard

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Target is recalling a Hanukkah menorah that it says may pose a fire hazard because it can melt while the candles are burning.

There have been eight reports of the product melting, including three reports of fire. No property damage or injuries have been reported.

About 2,600 units of the product -- a clear acrylic menorah about 10.5 inches long, 1.2 inches wide and 2.3 inches high -- are being recalled.

The model number is 240-14-0169 and the bar code can be found on a round white label on the side.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled menorahs and return them to Target for a full refund.

The menorahs were sold at Target stores nationwide from October 2015 through December 2015 for about $20.
