Target Corp. recalled about 2,600 Hanukkah menorahs sold from October 2015 through December 2015 for about $20, because of a fire hazard, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission. The clear acrylic menorahs, in a pyramid design and 10.5 inches long, can melt when the candles are burning, posing a fire hazard, the CPSC said. Target has received eight reports of melting, including three reports of fire, but no property damage or injuries. Target shares shed 1.9% in afternoon trade, and have edged up 0.8% year to date. The S&P 500 has ticked up 0.2% so far this year.
