Window blinds with pull cords and inner cords
Publicado el 1 de noviembre de 2000
Resumen
CPSC registra el retiro 01023, publicado el 1 de noviembre de 2000. Unidades reportadas: About 85 million each year.
Qué peligro representa
The recall involves millions of window blinds with pull cords and inner cords that can form a loop and cause strangulation.
Qué hacer
Consumers who have window blinds with cords in their homes should call the Window Covering Safety Council to receive a free repair kit for each set of blinds in the home. The repair kit will include small plastic attachments to prevent the inner cords from being pulled loose. The kit also includes safety tassels for pre-1995 window blinds with outer pull cords ending in loops. Consumers should cut the loops and install a safety tassel at the end of each pull cord. Consumers who have vertical blinds, draperies or pleated shades with continuous loop cords should request special tie-downs to prevent strangulation in those window coverings. Parents should keep window covering cords and chains permanently out of the reach of children. Never place a child's crib within reach of a window blind. Unless the cords can be completely removed from the child's reach, including when the child climbs on furniture, CPSC recommends that parents never knot or tie the cords together because this creates a new loop in which a child could become entangled.
