The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a major recall of window shades and blinds sold at some of the nation’s biggest retailers. It says poses an immediate threat to small children. More than 5 million sets have been recalled. 3 children have strangled to death.
The blinds were sold under various names by Ikea, Pottery Barn Kids, Target, Expo Design Center and Vertical Land stores. Manufacturers are already designing child-proof blinds and shades.
But retailers say the recalled shades should be returned or repaired now. | | |
