Reported risk: Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the roman shade or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission ( CPSC ) is aware of two incidents of children that became entangled in the exposed cord found on the backside of roman shades while looking out of windows. A 2-year-old boy was found with the inner cord wrapped around his arm and neck and a 4-year-old boy suffered a rope burn to his neck after becoming entangled in the cord of a roman shade. Neither Lowe's stores nor Health Canada has received reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of these roman shades. For more information on the hazard, see Health Canada's Roman shades and roll-up blinds advisory .
