Risk and measures
- Risk or hazard
- Health Canada has determined that the recalled blinds do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations and pose a strangulation hazard. Young children may pull looped cords around their neck, or become entangled in the cords, causing a strangulation hazard and even death. The clips attaching the cords on the back of the product can be removed allowing the creation of a loop causing the strangulation hazard. In addition, the end caps on the lower hem bar can also release small parts that present a choking hazard to young children. Children can become entangled in blinds cords, which can quickly lead to strangulation and even death. Health Canada recommends cordless window coverings. For more information on the hazard, see Blind Cord Safety . As of May 1, 2024, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
