Their first recall didn't include the 25 watt model. Thanks for the update, Gordon.

I just called Marineland directly, but as they will issue a cheque in USD for a refund, I'm not sure I'll be able to cash it. Can anyone update this thread with current info? Which retailers are currently offering to accept them for swaps/refunds? And will I need to find receipts and original packaging?
You can take them back to Petsmart or most any place that sold them and get a store credit or exchange if I'm not mistaken. Petsmart I know for sure does it & I'm pretty sure IPU does it , but I could be wrong about IPU. You shouldn't need the receipt or packaging
Does anyone know if pjpets in Richmond will do a credit for the 25wat heater or island pets
Last I seen it was the 100watt and higher heaters that were recalled, best to probably just call them
IPU in Richmond (604) 244-0700
PJ's Pets 604-214-1306
I just returned a 25 watt and 150 watt to petsmart for instore credit with no problem, not sure about other places.

I just phoned the petsmart in surrey at 12101 72 ave and and asked if I could bring in my stealth and stealth pro heaters for an exchange and the manager said they didn't have a lot so I would have to phone the company for that. Just to let you know

Just to clarify, the exchange shouldn't be for other Stealth/Pro heaters. Even Marineland are using glass heaters for the replacements.
And the recall was updated not too long ago to include the 25 & 50W heaters.
Just glad I came across it by chance - I haven't been on the forum for AGES and would never have known. Now I am debating whether I want a (partial) refund, or exchange. Not sure what would be available for exchange.
If I get a chance, I'll stop in at Island Pets or PJ's Pets tomorrow and inquire.
