DescriptionMelina roman blinds and Enje, Isdans and Tupplur roller blinds Product description This recall involves all sizes and colours of Melina roman blinds and Enje, Isdans, and Tupplur roller blinds distributed by Ikea. The Melina roman blind is 100% polyester, the Isdans and Tupplur roller blinds are 100% cotton, and the Enje roller blinds are 65% polyester and 35% nylon. All of the blinds have a sewn-in label with the Ikea logo and the following product brand names: "Melina", "Enje", "Isdans" or "Tupplur". Hazard identified Looped cords and bead chains may pose a strangulation hazard to young children if the blind's looped bead chain is not attached to the wall or the floor with the tension device provided and a child's neck becomes entangled in the free-standing loop. In the United States, CPSC and Ikea have received a report of a 2-year-old boy who suffered a near strangulation. His mother found him hanging from the looped bead chain. No permanent injuries were sustained. Neither Ikea Canada nor Health Canada has received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these roman or roller blinds. For more information on the hazard, see Health Canada's Roman shades and Roll-up Blinds Advisory.

Time period sold The recalled Enje, Isdans and Tupplur roller blinds were sold from August 2005 to December 2009; however, the Melina roman blind was discontinued in June 2009.
