United Pet Group recalls Top Fin Power Filters 10, 20, 30, 40, and 75 due to shock hazard from exposed electrical components. Consumers should stop using immediately and contact for free replacement.
A conductor on the pump motor can become exposed and electrify the aquarium water, posing a shock hazard to consumers.
United Pet Group is recalling five models of Top Fin Power Filters for aquariums because an exposed electrical conductor can electrify the water, creating a shock hazard. This affects consumers who have the specific black filters with 'TOP FIN' molded on top, sold exclusively at PetSmart.
The pump motor's conductor can become exposed, electrifying the aquarium water. If someone touches the water, they could receive an electric shock. This hazard occurs during normal use when the filter is installed in an aquarium.
Pet owners who have the recalled Top Fin Power Filters (models 10, 20, 30, 40, or 75) are affected. Those with aquariums using these filters are at highest risk due to the shock hazard.
Look for black filters with a trapezoid top and 'TOP FIN' molded into the top. The recalled models are Top Fin Power Filters 10, 20, 30, 40, and 75, sold as part of PetSmart aquarium kits.
Unplug the filter from the power supply and remove it from the aquarium.
