What was recalled
This recall involves shades and alternating blinds equipped with a chain and cord-shield from Prime Custom Blinds.
The blinds and shades are made to order, and vary in size, fabric, and color according to the customer's choices.
Why it was recalled
Health Canada has determined that the recalled blinds do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations 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 page.
As of July 14, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada.
