Risk of Strangulation Prompts Recall to Repair Roller Shades by Lutron Shading Solutions

CPSC · 09328 · published 2009-08-26

CPSC campaign 09328

Hazard

Strangulations can occur if the shade's looped bead chain is not attached to the wall or the floor and a child's neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately check their window coverings to see if the tension device is attached to the cord and installed into the wall or floor. If not attached, immediately stop using the window coverings and contact Lutron Electronics to receive a free repair kit. If the consumer has difficulty installing the tensioning device, contact Lutron for further instructions.
