Issue
Health Canada has determined that the recalled blinds do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations and pose a strangulation hazard. The product can create loops exceeding 44cm. Young children may pull looped cords around their neck causing a strangulation and entanglement hazard.
Children can become entangled in blind 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 November 8, 2023, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
