Ikea Canada recalls 200,000 roman shades.

Check out this article: http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/story/2008/11/20/ikea-recall.html. I posted about this before and one child actually DIES every two weeks because they get caught up in the cords of the most popular blinds. Parents for Window Blinds Safety is a non profit organization that puts pressure on blind manufactures to make the blinds more child friendly. All of Shades Shutters Blinds products SHOULD come with the proper cord cleats and tie downs to make child safety the most important factor if you have young kids. Sometimes our factory will make a mistake and not include those. If they forget to, DO NOT hang the blind until we get the parts to you. The cordless options that are out there have greatly improved over the years and are highly recommended if you have kiddos living or coming into you home. They are not that much more expensive (I have these at my house with a 2 1/2 year old), are easier to use (even for adults) and takes the risk factor away. ANY kind of cord that hangs can be a potential threat so please keep that in mind when ordering.
