Recalls: Halloween flashlights from Target

Target Halloween flashlight recallIf you bought a Halloween-themed flashlight from Target to illuminate your trick-or-treating path, better bring it back to the store for a refund --- or risk spending Fright Night in the emergency room.

About 610,000 of mini-flashlights and flashlights with stencils were sold in August and September, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Since then, there have been eight reports of the lights overheating and melting, and one report  that someone's hand got burned.

For more information, check the Consumer Product Safety Commission's Web site or call Target at (800) 440-0680 between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday.
