Risk of Strangulation Prompts Recall to Repair Roll-Up Blinds by Chicology

What's being recalled

This recall involves the French Antique Gold, Zen Moss, Tropic Ginger, and Kansas White roll-up blind models. The roll-up shades are gold, green, tan and white and are made from natural fiber-paper, jute, and polyester.

The problem, in CPSC's words

Strangulations can occur if the lifting loop slides 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.

Incidents and injuries reported to CPSC

None reported

What CPSC says to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the roll-up blinds and contact Chicology to obtain a free retrofit kit.
