Product name | Horizontal and Vertical Blinds and Cellular Shades | |
Description | This recall involves all Vertical Land custom-made vertical and cellular window coverings that do not have a cord tensioning device and horizontal blinds that do not have inner cord stop devices. A sticker identification label can be found on the head rail of some of the window coverings which lists the company's name, address and telephone number. | |
Problem | Horizontal Blinds: The blinds do not have inner cord stop devices to prevent the accessible inner cords from being pulled out. If an inner cord is pulled out, a child can become entangled in the loop and strangle. -- Vertical Blinds: Strangulations can occur if a child's neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop formed by the bead chain or by the cord with a weighted device. -- Cellular Shades: Strangulations can occur if a child's neck becomes entangled on the shade's free-standing looped cord. | |
Distribution | Vertical Land stores in Panama City and Pensacola, Fla for between $60 and $200 (depending on the size of the blind). | |
