Wm. Wright recalls Roman shade kits with item numbers 1451007001, 1451008001, or 1451008001A due to strangulation risk when children place neck between cord and fabric.
Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the shade, or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck.
Wm. Wright is recalling Roman shade make-it-yourself kits that can cause strangulation if a child puts their neck between the cord and fabric. This is especially dangerous for young children who might pull the cord and wrap it around their neck.
The hazard occurs when a child places their neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the shade, or pulls the cord and wraps it around their neck. This can lead to strangulation if the cord is tight enough to restrict breathing.
Parents and caregivers of young children who own or use these Roman shade kits are most at risk. Children under age 5 are particularly vulnerable due to their small size and tendency to explore.
