by MommySite Mom
Strangulations can occur when a child places his/her neck between the exposed inner cord and the fabric on the backside of the blind or when a child pulls the cord out and wraps it around his/her neck. The Roman blind has a continuous looped bead chain that when not attached to the wall or floor, hangs loosely by the blind, posing a strangulation hazard to children.

Strangulation Death of a Child Prompts Recall To Repair Window Blinds By Vertical Land
by MommySite Mom
For horizontal blinds, the blinds do not have inner cord stop devices to prevent the accessible inner cords from being pulled out. If an inner cord is pulled out, a child can become entangled in the loop and strangle. For vertical blinds, strangulations can occur if a child’s neck becomes entangled on the free-standing loop formed by the bead chain or by the cord with a weighted device. For cellular shades, strangulations can occur if a child’s neck becomes entangled on the shade’s free-standing looped cord.
