Hanover Direct/Domestications recalls Roman shades with inner cords, roll-up blinds, and roller blinds without tension devices due to strangulation risk for children. Consumers must stop using and contact for repairs.
Roman Shades: Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck. Roll-up Blinds: Strangulations can occur if the lifting loops slide off the side of the blind and a child's neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop or if a child places his/her neck between the lifting loop and the roll-up blind material. Roller Blinds: Strangulations can occur if the blind's continuous loop bead chain or continuous loop pull cord is not attached to the wall or the floor with the tension device provided and a child's neck becomes entangled in the free-standing loop.
Hanover Direct/Domestications is recalling Roman shades with inner cords, roll:up blinds, and roller blinds that lack a tension device. This recall is due to a risk of strangulation if a child's neck gets caught between the blind's cord and fabric or the cord wraps around their neck.
Children can get their necks caught between the blind's cord and fabric, or the cord can wrap around their neck if it's not properly secured with a tension device. This can lead to strangulation if the blind is not correctly installed or anchored.
Parents and caregivers of young children who own or use Roman shades with inner cords, roll-up blinds, or roller blinds without a tension device are most at risk of strangulation.
Check for Roman shades with inner cords, roll-up blinds, and roller blinds that do not have a tension device attached to the wall or floor. The recall covers all styles of these products without the required tension device.
Immediately stop using all Roman shades with inner cords, roll-up blinds, and roller blinds that lack a tension device.
