Marineland Stealth heaters --- GET RID OF 'EM PRONTO!!!

[h2oskibumz]

New here folks but I just got this from MOPS of Canada. I've been out of the hobby for 5 years and found them while looking for the old MOPS out of NY/Cali...

Anyway, I'm on their mailing list and this seemed pretty important...

In our previous Marineland Stealth Heater Alert we advised you about a stop sale order that applied to all Stealth or Stealth PRO heaters of 100 watts or greater.

Since that time, United Pet Group, in cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, has been investigating this matter and have now decided to issue a voluntary recall of all Marineland Stealth and Stealth PRO heaters rated at 25 watts or higher. They have determined that a wiring problem may cause the heater to overheat or break during normal use. The force of the heater breaking may cause it to shatter and may even break the aquarium glass.

Owners of the listed Marineland Stealth and Stealth PRO heaters should contact United Pet Group directly at (800) 338-4896 between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Your safety and satisfaction is of great concern to us so, if you have any of these heaters, please remove them from your aquariums and call Marineland as soon as possible.

Yours truly,

Dan Cole.
