The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Jun 5, 2011, published by CPSC Jun 24, 2011

    The product, in the report: Roman shades that are lined in the back to filter light. They pull up on down and the mechanisms are controlled by strings in the back attached to round metal rings at different levels. There are thin strings that attach each circle to the back and thicker strings that pull the shades up and down.

    I have Roman Shades which were installed in my home by 3 Day Blinds. I recently contacted them to inform them that the blinds were literally coming apart, the strings were becoming brittle and breaking and despite my efforts to fix them, they kept getting worse. Finally I called them to come out to evaluate them and repair them. 3 Day Blinds is coming out next week to get them and “fix them” but today I put my 2 year old granddaughter to sleep in the room and she choke herself in the cord. If my daughter didn’t hear her choking and check on her, she would have died. I have the photos to prove it. So now the cords that kept breaking and the blinds that looked awful are now clearly potentially a fatal choking hazard for children. I had no idea that these blinds could be so dangerous or I would never have put my granddaughter anywhere near them.
