Hagen (USA) Corporation of Mansfield, Mass., because they may present a fatal shock hazard to consumers.

Other Aqua Clear power heads manufactured by the company are not affected and are not being recalled. Consumers can return the pump to the retail store of purchase and receive a new power head, model 201, at no charge.
