Lutron recalls motorized and manual custom Roman shades (2009-2015) due to strangulation risk if children place neck between tape and fabric. Consumers must stop using and get refund or replacement.
Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed ribbon (hobble tape) and the fabric on the backside of the shade or when a child pulls the tape out and wraps it around his/her neck.
Lutron is recalling custom Roman shades made between 2009 and 2015 because children could get strangled if they put their neck between the ribbon tape and the fabric. This is a serious hazard that requires immediate action to prevent injury.
The Roman shades have a 1-inch wide vertical hobble tape that can be pulled by a child and wrapped around their neck. If a child places their neck between the tape and the fabric, they could be strangled. This hazard occurs during normal use when children interact with the shades.
Parents and caregivers of young children who own or use Lutron Roman shades made between December 2009 and July 2015 are most at risk. Children under age 5 are particularly vulnerable due to their small size and tendency to explore.
Check for a white label on the shade tube at the top of the shade that shows Lutron Electronics and the manufacture date. The shades were made between December 17, 2009 and July 23, 2015 and have two to six vertical mesh lift bands.
Immediately stop using the recalled Roman shades as they pose a strangulation risk to children.
