Chicology Cordless 1-inch Vinyl Mini Blinds recalled due to strangulation and choking hazards to children

Health Canada has determined that the recalled blinds do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations and pose a strangulation and choking hazard. The various configurations of the products can create loops exceeding 44cm. Young children may pull looped cords around their neck causing a strangulation and entanglement hazard. Health Canada has also determined that the bottom rail end caps may detach, creating a hazardous small part, posing a choking hazard to young children. Children can become entangled in blind cords, which can quickly lead to strangulation and even death. Health Canada recommends cordless window coverings.
