United Pet Group (Marineland) has issued a voluntary recall of approximately 1.2 million Marineland aquarium heaters due to fire and laceration hazards.

UPG states in their document that a wiring problem can cause the heaters to overheat or break during normal use. Overheating could cause the heater to catch fire or shatter or cause the aquarium glass to break.
