Aquarium Power Head Recall NEWS from CPSC U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission Office of Information and Public Affairs Washington, DC 20207 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 17, 1989 Release # 89-078 Aquarium Power Head Recall WASHINGTON, DC. -- Some 42,000 aquarium Power Heads (Model 200) are being voluntarily recalled by the Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corporation of Mansfield, Mass., because they may present a fatal shock hazard to consumers. Water may seep into the motor winding terminals, allowing water in the aquarium to become energized. The Rolf C. Hagen (USA) Corporation, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, said consumers should immediately unplug the electric power cord of its model 200 Aqua Clear Power Head aquarium pump. 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.
