Risk of Strangulation Prompts Recall to Repair IKEA Roller Blinds

Is my product affected?

ISDANS, TUPPLUR, and ENJE Roller Blinds

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

IKEA has recalled all ISDANS, TUPPLUR, and ENJE roller blinds due to a strangulation hazard. These blinds, which measure 24" to 79" wide and feature a metal top rail and bead chain, can pose a risk if the looped bead chain is not properly secured to the wall or floor using the included tension device. A child's neck can become entangled in an unsecured loop, creating a dangerous situation.

Consumers who own these recalled roller blinds should immediately verify that the tension device is properly attached to the bead chain and installed into the wall or floor. If the tension device is not attached, consumers should stop using the blinds and contact IKEA or visit a local IKEA store to obtain a free repair kit, which became available in mid-November. Consumers experiencing difficulty installing the tension device should contact IKEA for assistance.

Hazard

Strangulations can occur if the blind's looped bead chain is not attached to the wall or the floor with the tension device provided and a child's neck becomes entangled in the free-standing loop.

What should I do?

Consumers should immediately check the recalled roller blinds to make sure the tension device provided is attached to the bead chain and installed into the wall or floor. If not attached, consumers should immediately stop using the roller blinds and contact IKEA or visit their local IKEA store to receive a free repair kit. The repair kits for the roller blinds will be available the second week of November. If the consumer has difficulty installing the tension device, contact IKEA for additional information.
