Target recalls Hanukkah menorahs and offers refunds after some melt or catch on fire

Hanukkah menorahs should safely hold candles that burn out each night. The menorah itself shouldn’t light ablaze, which is why Target recalled 4,400 Spritz Taper Resin Dino Hanukkah Menorahs on Thursday.

As explained in the U.S. Consumer Product Safety recall notice: “The recalled resin menorahs can burn or catch fire when holding lit candles, posing a fire hazard.”
