What happened

All Strong Industry is recalling Roman shades with white-on-white striped fabric that measure approximately 64 inches long with widths between 23 and 39 inches. The recalled shades have a head rail with a strangulation warning and labels indicating "CF" (Ching Feng Fashion Home Fashions Co., Ltd.), "52% Cotton/48% Polyester," and were made in Taiwan, Thailand, or China. An "RN 103984" tag appears sewn into the bottom back side of the fabric.

A child died from strangulation involving these Roman shades. Strangulation can occur when a child places his or her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his or her neck. According to the recall, consumers should stop using the shades immediately and contact the Window Covering Safety Council for a free repair kit.
