Meijer Re-announces Roman Shades and Roll-Up Blinds Recall


The Northwest Indiana personal injury law firm, Schlyer & Associates, the Aggressive Trial Lawyers, warn of a re-announcement of a recall issued by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission of certain Meijer of Roman shades and roll-up blinds.

This recall was originally issued in March 2010, however additional sales of the recalled product prompted a re-announcement of this recall.  About 240,000 units were initially recalled.  Photographs of the recalled items can be found by following this link.

According to the recall notice, the following two (2) products are recalled for various reasons:

Roman Shades - Strangulation can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck.

Roll-up Blinds - Strangulation can occur if the lifting loops slide off the side of the blind and a child’s neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop or if a child places his/her neck between the lifting loop and the roll-up blind material.

These products were initially sold at Meijer but now maybe found at various discount retailers, dollar stores, flea markets and other retail liquidators nationwide from March 2010 through September 2011 at various prices. Originally the products were sold at Meijer stores between January 2004 and December 2009 for about $40 before being recalled.
