FYI...

Parents for Window Blind Safety has been writing the CPSC for 6 years begging for dangerous cords on roman shades, corded roll up shades and shades with a looped metal chain to be removed from the market. We are happy to announce that Roman Shades made by IKEA are being recalled today. This is the first recall on Roman Shades since the first reported death in 1986. The CPSC is also recalling ALL roll up window shades due to the cord coming off of the side of the shade and forming a loop.This is the first break through that our Non-Profit has seen since founded in 2002. As the new administrations moves into office in DC, they also move new administration into the CPSC. Due to the new administration at the CPSC, there is already talk that there will be more recalls coming in the near future for ALL Roman shades and roll up shades.We are also pleased that the CPSC is now telling the public NEVER to have these types of window coverings in homes with children.Please forward this to everyone you know so they know to remove these dangerous products from their home.
