Hazard

Strangulations can occur when a child plays with the beaded strands by wrapping them around their necks or by creating loops in which they can insert their heads. Also, children can get entangled in the strands, which are prone to entangle, just by running through the doorway.

What should I do?

Consumers should immediately take down the curtains and return them to any Target store for a full refund or store credit.
