WINDOW BLIND & SHADE RECALL LARGEST EVER. CALIFORNIA LAWYER CAN HELP IF YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN HURT OR KILLED.
Product recalls target available products that have the potential to harm the public. Many times, recalls come too late, after any number of children or adults have been hurt or even killed by a dangerous product. In an effort to combat increasing deaths and injuries, the nation’s main watchdog organization for product recalls has recently beefed up their recalls of products that can kill or injure children. As evidence, a variety of cribs and beds, as well as strollers and window coverings have been recalled recently after infants and children have died or been hurt during use. Now the US Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced its largest product recall ever, recalling all window roll-up blinds with cords as well as all Roman shades due to the potential for hurting children. If your family has suffered the death or injury of a child due to window shades or blinds in California, please call 1-800-ALAWPRO for legal help today.
More than 50 million window coverings are affected by the recall. The danger lies in the potential for suffocation and/or strangulation. Window blind and shade cords can strangle children who mistakenly wrap the cords around their necks. Roman shades pose a hazard to children who can become entrapped between the shade’s fabric and the inner cord. Rollup blinds’ lifting loops and fabric hold the same potential risks for suffocation. In the past 3 years, over a dozen children have nearly died after being strangled by Roman shades, and five actually were killed. Three child deaths in the past 8 years have occurred as a result of roll-up blind accidents. Learn more about wrongful death and product liability at www.alawpro.com.
