Blinds to Go is recalling hundreds of thousands window shades after the federal government says the blinds could pose a strangulation risk for children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says Blinds to Go voluntarily recalled about 200,000 of the custom-made window shades.
"The shade's chain or cord loop can slip out of the hold-down device posing a strangulation hazard for small children", said the CPSC.
The recall involves custom-made roller shades with Sidewinders, Smartlift pleated and cellular shades, Panel Tracks shades, and Serenity Shades.
The product was sold exclusively at Blinds To Go Showrooms and online.
Consumers are told to contact the company to order a free retrofit kit that includes a new hold device and instructions on how to replace the recalled part. You can reach the customer service at 800-254-6377 or at http://www.blindstogo.com/en/child-safety-update.
