Strangulation Death of a Child Prompts Recall To Repair Window Blinds By Vertical Land
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
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.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the window coverings and contact Vertical Land to receive a free retrofit kit.
