Ikea Recalls Millions Of Window Blinds | 2010.06.11 |
More than three million window blinds that pose a possible child strangulation hazard have been recalled by Ikea. All 3.36 million Roman shades and roll-up blinds sold at Ikea stores in the United States from January 1998 to June 2009 are included in the recall, the Associated Press reported. The recall was announced Thursday after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission received a report of an 18-month-old Massachusetts boy who almost strangled on a blind's cord. The blinds were made in China, Estonia, India and Poland, the AP reported. |
