Blinds To Go is recalling about 200,000 custom-made window shades because the cord or chain loop can slip out of its hold-down device. This recall includes custom-made roller shades with Sidewinders, Smartlift pleated and cellular shades, Panel Tracks shades, and Serenity shades sold between January 2009 and November 2014. No injuries have been reported, but consumers should take action to secure the cords with an updated safety kit. Blinds To Go is offering a free retrofit kit or in-store repair to fix the issue.
The shade's chain or cord loop can detach from the clear, P-shaped plastic hold-down hook, creating a loose loop that poses a serious strangulation hazard to small children.
Consumers can contact the company to order a free retrofit kit that includes a new hold down device and instructions on how to replace the recalled part. Customers also can bring the window shades to a local showroom to have the new device fitted on the shades.
