Carra Imports is recalling about 55,500 window shades.
For cellular, roller, and soft horizontal shades: Strangulation can occur when the shade’s continuous loop pull cord or bead chain isn’t attached to the wall with a tension device and a child’s neck becomes entangled in the free-standing loop.
For Roman shades: Strangulation can occur when a child places his or 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 or her neck.
No injuries or deaths have been reported, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
This recall involves custom made-to-order cellular, roller, soft horizontal, and Roman style solar shades. The shades were sold in a variety of custom sizes and colors. The shades don’t have any identifying labels or markings on them.
The shades were sold online and by phone orders at Blinds.com; Blinds Century, also known as American Blinds; Blinds Wholesale; HomeCraft; Home Depot; JustBlinds.com; Nobrainer Blinds; Office Depot; Rugs Direct BFC; Steve’s Blinds; Wayfair; and Window World Blinds for between $35 and $775.
The cellular shades were sold from August 2014 through February 2015. The roller shades were sold from September 2010 through September 2013. The soft horizontal shades were sold from July 2010 through March 2012. The Roman shades were sold from September 2010 through July 2013.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled window shades and contact Carra for a free repair kit, the company and commission said.
If the recalled cellular, roller, and soft horizontal shades don’t have hold down devices installed, contact Carra Imports to receive a repair kit that includes a hold down device and instructions to install it.
The repair kit for the Roman shades includes instructions to remove the pull cords and to install metal rings to raise and lower the shades to remove the hazard.
Carra is contacting consumers who purchased the recalled window shades.
