* Hasbro Inc., the world’s second-largest toy maker, said Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer John T. O’Neill will retire at the end of the year. O’Neill, 54, has been CFO of the maker of Tonka trucks, Parker Bros. games and other toys since 1987. The resignation comes as Hasbro tries to allay concerns that sales of its newest line of “Star Wars” action figures and vehicles haven’t been as robust as expected. Hasbro’s stock has dropped 27% since May 3, when the product line was introduced. Hasbro fell 75 cents to close at $26 on the NYSE.
