Reported risk: Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has revealed that the recalled blinds pose a strangulation hazard by not having an inner cord stop. Inner cord stops are devices that prevent an inner cord from being pulled and forming a loop in which young children may pull around their neck, posing a risk of strangulation. The blinds also do not have the required labels on the product. Neither Health Canada nor Brite Blinds has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these blinds. For more information on the hazard, see Blind Cord Safety .
