Target is recalling thousands of menorahs that were sold last year over reports of the product melting and causing fires.

The Chinese-made Hanukkah menorahs were sold for about $20 between October and December last year. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has received at least eight reports of the menorahs melting and three reports of fire. No property damage or injuries have been reported.

The Minneapolis-based company announced the recall on the Consumer Product Safety Commission website on Tuesday. Menorahs with the model number 240-14-0169 can be returned to Target stores for a full refund.
