    Marineland has issued a voluntary withdrawal of the Stealth PRO
    Submersible Heater (100, 200 and 250 watt). The product is being
    withdrawn due to a quality issue.

    If you have this product, please stop using it immediately and take the following steps:

    1. Unplug the heater from the wall to stop the flow of electricity

    2. Let the heater cool for 15 minutes

    3. Remove the heater from the tank

    Please bring the product to your closest PetSmart for a full refund or
    exchange. Replace the product with a comparable heater as soon as
    possible to maintain the temperature of your aquarium. A PetSmart store
    associate can help you select the right heater for your aquatic
    environment.

    If you have questions about this withdrawal, please call Marineland Customer Service at 800-526-0650 or 800-432-6986.

    At PetSmart, we are concerned pet parents, too. We will continue to do
    everything we can to help you and your pet during this time.

    Big Al's Online has 300W Jagers on sale right now for $25.99. I never even knew they made a 300W until I saw that posting.  Maybe it's new.  The 250W is the same price.  That's a great price on those heaters. Usually they are closer to $30. http://www.bigalsonline.com/Jager-Heater_9799681_82.html The 250 is $33 at Marine Depot.
