Summary

Target has reannounced a recall for approximately 2,600 clear acrylic Hanukkah menorahs. These pyramid-designed menorahs can melt while candles are burning, creating a serious fire risk. There have been eight reports of the product melting, including three reports of actual fires, though no injuries or property damage have occurred. The affected products were sold at Target stores nationwide between October 2015 and December 2015 for about $20. Consumers should immediately stop using these menorahs and return them to any Target store for a full refund.

Risk

The acrylic material used in the menorah's construction can melt when exposed to the heat of burning candles. This melting poses a direct fire hazard to the home and occupants.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your product by checking for a clear acrylic Hanukkah menorah in a pyramid design, measuring approximately 10.5 inches long, 1.2 inches wide, and 2.3 inches high.
  2. Look for a round white label on the side of the menorah to confirm the model number 240-14-0169 and UPC barcode 492401401690.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled menorah and do not light any candles in it.
  4. Return the recalled menorah to any Target store nationwide to receive a full refund of the purchase price.
  5. Contact Target at 800-440-0680 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT daily or visit www.target.com and click on the 'Product Recalls' tab for more information.
