Health Canada warns that 2" Slats Wood Blinds for Indoor Windows previously available on Amazon.ca may pose risks of strangulation and choking

Health Canada has determined that the blinds do not meet Canada's Corded Window Coverings Regulations and pose a risk of strangulation. Young children may pull looped cords around their neck, or become entangled in the cords, causing a strangulation hazard and even death. In addition, the products can also release small parts that pose a risk of choking to young children. Health Canada recommends cordless window coverings.
