Roman Shades recall
Recalled: ALL Roman Blinds and Roll-Up Shades


You read that right: today, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Window Shade Safety Council (an industry trade association) announced a voluntary recall of all roman shades and roll-up blinds that are controlled with a cord.
Read more about the Massive Recall of ALL Roman Blinds and Roll-Up Shades.  We explain the hazard the cords and loops can cause, as well as advice on what to do if you've got these blinds and shades in your home (and who doesn't have at least one of these in their house?).
