Lutron Electronics is recalling about 240 custom-made Roman shades manufactured between December 17, 2009, and July 23, 2015. These hobbled-style shades, which can be either motorized or manual, pose a serious risk because children can become entangled in the exposed ribbon (hobble tape) on the back. While no injuries have been reported, consumers should immediately stop using these shades and contact Lutron Electronics for a full refund or a free replacement.
A child can place their neck between the exposed hobble tape ribbon and the fabric on the back of the shade, or pull the tape out and wrap it around their neck, leading to strangulation.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Roman shades and contact Lutron Electronics for a full refund or a free replacement shade.
Strangulations can occur between the exposed “hobble tape” (ribbon) and the fabric on the backside of the shade.
Label location. Consumers should contact Lutron Electronics if the label cannot be located.
