50 Million Roman Style Shades & Roll Up Blinds Recalled
For owners who have installed Roman shades or roll up blinds in your cottage the following information is extremely important and appropriate action is required. (If you do not have Roman style shades or roll up blinds this notice does not apply to you.)
On December 15, 2009 Money.com (CNNMoney.com) published an article announcing that the federal agency in charge of product safety has issued "one of the five largest recalls in the agency's 35 year history."
"CPSC said 5 children have died of strangulation and 16 others have been nearly strangled since 2006 because of the Roman shades, which pose a problem because of space between the inner cord and the shade fabric.
