2" Slats Wood Blinds for Indoor Windows
These are wooden window blinds designed for indoor use, featuring 2-inch-wide slats and corded mechanisms for raising and lowering. They are typically installed in bedrooms, living rooms, or other household windows to control light and privacy.
What’s the risk?
The corded design of these blinds can create loops that may become wrapped around a child’s neck, leading to strangulation. Small parts from the blinds can also detach, posing a choking hazard. Young children are especially at risk if they can reach or play near the cords.
What should parents do?
Stop using these blinds immediately if you have them in your home. Remove them from any area accessible to children. Dispose of the blinds safely or contact Amazon.ca for further instructions.
