Hazard

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. Also, children can become entangled in the looped pull cord.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the roll-up shades and contact the Window Covering Safety Council for a free repair kit.
