Jo-Ann Fabric Recalls Roll Up Blinds

In December 2009, craft stores began voluntarily recalling roman shades and roll up blinds.  Jo-Ann Fabric announced they are joining the other stores in the recall. 

The recalled product is Bamboo Roll-up Blinds with Valance.  The blinds could potentially strangle a child.  The lifting loop can detach from the side of the blind allowing a child's neck to become entangled. 

The blinds, 36"x72" and 48"x72", were sold at Jo-Ann Fabric and other craft stores across the country for $25 and $30 respectively.  They were available between April and December 2009.
