Recall on roller shades

Near Strangulation Prompts Recall of Roman and Roller Shades by Smith+Noble

Smith+Noble has added its name to the retailers joining the voluntary recall announced in December 2009 of ALL Roman shades and roll-up blinds.Roman Shades: Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the shade or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck.

Roller Shades: Strangulation can occur if the shade's continuous loop cord is not attached to the wall with the tension device provided and a child's neck becomes entangled in the free-standing loop. http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10307.html
