Various custom-made window coverings manufactured by Apara-Transiplast

Custom-made window coverings are blinds or shades tailored to fit specific windows in homes. They are commonly used to control light and privacy and are often installed in areas where children may play or sleep.

What’s the risk?

The end cap of the lower rail on these blinds can detach easily, creating a small part that poses a choking hazard. Young children are most at risk if they put the detached piece in their mouth. The blinds also do not meet Canadian safety regulations for corded window coverings.
