PetSmart announces 2 recalls

(MyFoxBoston.com) -- PetSmart announced two recalls Tuesday, including Top Fin Betta Bowl Kits and another type of fish bowl.

The betta bowl kits are being recalled due to a laceration hazard, according to a release. The Top Fin Betta Bowl Kit with LED Light has a glass bowl that can crack or shatter and the company is offering a refund.

Customers should call PetSmart toll-free at 888-839-9638 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. MT Monday through Friday or visit www.petsmart.com and click on "Product Recalls" listed under "Shop With Us" to claim your refund or to get more information.

The store is also recalling a simple fishbowl. The fishbowl is clear, holds 1.75 gallons and is shaped like a brandy snifter. PetSmart has received reports of the bowls breaking during normal use, according to a release. Injuries were reported including cuts to finger and hands; seven of those cuts required stitches and three others required surgery for lacerated tendons, a release said.

These fish bowls were sold only at PetSmart stores nationwide from March 2010 through September 2013. They cost about $20.
