This recall involves roller blinds that do not have a tension device attached to the bead chain, all Roman blinds and all roll-up blinds. |
| Problem |
Roller Blinds - Strangulations can occur if the blind's looped bead chain is not attached to the wall or the floor with the tension device provided and a child's neck becomes entangled in the free-standing loop.

Roll-up Blinds - Strangulations can occur if the lifting loops slide off the side of the blind and a child's neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop or if a child places his/her neck between the lifting loop and the roll-up blind material. |
