What was recalled
This recall involves SANA brand manually controlled solar shades (with chains). The products were sold in a variety of sizes, colours, and fabrics.
Why it was recalled
Health Canada has determined that the recalled blinds do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations due to non-compliance of the tension device supplied with the product and pose a strangulation hazard. Young children may pull looped cords around their neck, or become entangled in the cords, causing a strangulation hazard and even death.
Health Canada recommends cordless window coverings. For more information on the hazard, see Window Covering Safety.
As of August 7, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada.
