Safety Issues for Roman Shades

In mid-December of 2009 there was a voluntary recall in the United States of up to 50 million Roman-style shades and roll-up blinds because of a risk that young children could be strangled by the cords. This section provides you with information on how to assure your shades are safe. This is a new section for 2010 and I will be adding information and products throughout the year to address this topical issue.
