Near Strangulation Prompts Recall of Roman Blinds; Sold Exclusively at IKEA
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck. The Roman blind has a continuous looped bead chain that when not attached to the wall or floor, hangs loosely by the blind, posing a strangulation hazard to children.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Roman blinds and return them to any IKEA store for a full refund.
