Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores Recalls Roll-Up Blinds

Bamboo Roll-Up Blinds with Valence

Model #MS3672WA04 

 Thought I would post this information on my blog because the safety of children is very important to me. A product recall has been issued by Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft stores for the Bamboo Roll-Up Blinds with Valence. The recalled item was sold between April 2009 and December 2009 and pose a serious strangulation hazard, according to Jo-Ann Fabrics . The notice posted on their site reads:

HAZARD:

Strangulation can occur when the lifting loop slides off the side

of the blind and a child’s neck becomes entangled on the

free-standing loop, or if a child places his/her neck between the

lifting loop and the roll-up blind material.

Consumers should immediately stop using the roll-up blinds and return the product to the nearest Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft store for a full refund. (Post Until 2/25/2011 In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)

Blessings and be safe.
