Insulated Black-Out Roller Shades and Insulated Roman Shades
This recall includes all insulated black-out roller shades (colors: white, cream, harvest, light sage) and insulated Roman shades sizes 48, 60 and 72 (colors: white, natural, sage, sienna, blue, goldenrod, mahogany, terracotta). The shades have RN number 107875 printed on the care label of the shade and identify the manufacturer on the “Installation and Care Instructions.” These were recalled after a 2-yr old girl nearly strangled to death from slipping off of a radiator she was standing on while placing the cord around her neck. Her heroic 5-yr old brother lifted her up and got her out of the cord.
IRIS and ALVINE Roman Blinds These blinds were sold exclusively at IKEA stores.
This recall involves all sizes of IRIS and ALVINE Roman Blinds in white. The blinds have a sewn-in label at the top edge of the blind with the IKEA logotype, article name (IRIS or ALVINE), 5-digit supplier number 19799 or 21369, four digit date stamp (YYWW) and the words “Made in India”. On the bottom edge of the blind there is a sewn-in orange/white safety warning label. The blinds are made from 100% cotton. This recall was put into place after an infant died from getting strangled by an inner cord that is only exposed on the back side.
