Shades and Alternating Blinds with a chain and cord-shield
These are window coverings designed to control light and privacy in rooms. They are typically installed on windows in living rooms, bedrooms, and other areas where adjustable blinds are needed.
What’s the risk?
The blinds have cords that can form loops, which may get wrapped around a child’s neck. This poses a strangulation risk, especially for young children. Children can also become entangled in the cords.
What should parents do?
Stop using the recalled blinds immediately. Keep all cords out of reach of children. Contact Prime Custom Blinds for further instructions or to arrange for a remedy.
