Deaths, injuries and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the nation more than $800 billion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household chemicals - contributed to a significant decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 30 years.Note: Examine all shades and blinds in your home. Make sure there are no accessible cords on the front side, or back of the product. CPSC recommends the use of cordless window coverings in all homes where children live or visit.Wood blinds are probably found in department stores in America but not like these. These blinds are made of great materials and come in many trendy colors and patterns to suit any taste. What direction your shades go in is almost as important as choosing that color and pattern that really sets your room's design off.Manufacturer: Wm. Wright Co., of Antioch, Tenn.Incidents/Injuries: None reported.Wm. Wright has added its name to the manufacturers and retailers joining the voluntary recall announced in December 2009 of ALL Roman shades and roll-up blinds.Hazard: Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the shade, or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck.Sold at: Walmart, Jo-Ann Stores and other specialty textile and variety retail shops nationwide from December 2007 through June 2011 for between $20 and $25.Solar screens are a unique form of window treatment that is considered to be a blind, but is probably different than any other blind you have seen before. Unlike most any other type of window covering, these go on the outside. You can still see the outside world, watch the dogs run, watch the kids play, but those nosey neighbors and unwanted visitors can't see you at all through the screen. This form of blind also has the incredible ability to prevent excess heat from leaking through the glass panels and saving you a bundle on utilities.Units: About 48,000
