Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled roman shades and roll-up blinds, and contact the Window Covering Safety Council 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 visit the Window Covering Safety Council website, or contact the Council toll-free at 1-800-506-4636. Date modified: 2010-01-18
