Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled roman shades and contact the Window Covering Safety Council or Ethan Allen Global Inc. for a free repair kit. The repair kit involves removing the cords and attaching devices to manually raise and lower the shade. Consumers may also remove the cords without attaching the devices. However, the product will be inoperable and remain in the lowered position. For more information, consumers may contact the Window Covering Safety Council toll-free at 1-800-506-4636 or visit the Window Covering Safety Council website. Consumers may also contact the local Ethan Allen Design Center at 1-888-339-9398 between 8:30 AM to 4:45 PM ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's website . Date modified: 2010-07-19
