Target is recalling roughly 143,000 nightlights sold at its stores because they may pose a fire hazard.


The recall involves Circo-brand battery-operated nightlights with an AC adapter sold in the shapes of a pink hedgehog, a blue bird, a yellow rocket, an orange dinosaur egg, a white soccer ball and a green shark. 


Target has received two reports of the lights overheating, including one report of a fire that damaged a consumer's dresser, wall and plug-in, the federal 

Consumer Product Safety Commission said Tuesday


No injuries have been reported but consumers should immediately stop using the nightlights and return them to any Target store for a full refund, the agency said. 


The products were made in China and sold at Target stores nationally and on the Minneapolis retail giant's website between October 2014 and May 2015 for about $15. The model numbers are printed on the bottom side of the nightlights.
