Issue
Health Canada has determined that the recalled blinds do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations and pose a strangulation hazard. Young children may pull looped cords around their neck, or become entangled in the cords, causing a strangulation hazard and even death.
Health Canada recommends cordless window coverings. For more information on the hazard, see Window Covering Safety page.
As of July 14, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada.
