Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

PetSmart is recalling approximately 148,000 Top Fin Betta Bowl Kits with LED Lights because the glass bowl can crack or shatter during normal handling. There have been seven reports of the bowls breaking, including five reports of consumers suffering cuts to their fingers and hands. The kits feature a 0.6-gallon glass bowl and a colored plastic base, and were sold nationwide at PetSmart stores and online between September 2013 and October 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using the glass bowl and return the components for a full refund.

Risk

The glass bowl is prone to cracking or shattering during ordinary use or cleaning. This creates sharp shards that pose a significant risk of cuts and lacerations to the user's hands.

  3. Immediately stop using the recalled glass bowl and safely dispose of it to avoid potential injury.
  4. Return the plastic base along with the power cord and adapter to any PetSmart store to receive a full refund of the purchase price.
