Reported risk: Health Canada has determined that the recalled shades pose a strangulation hazard because they do not have a control mechanism (spring mechanism) solidly attached to the chain loop. Young children may pull looped cords around their neck, causing a strangulation and entanglement hazard. Neither Health Canada nor Altex Décoration Ltée has received reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of this product. For more information on the hazard, see Blind Cord Safety .
