Rope Curtain Is Often Recalled Because Of Suffocation Risk.

Recently, Consumer goods in the US The Security Council (CPSC) and Smith+Noble announced joint voluntary recall of Rome curtains and rolling shutters from China, Mexico and the United States. The recalled items include all made Rome curtains and all rolling shutters without the tensioning device, about 1 million 300 thousand pieces. Since December 2009, CPSC has recalled tens of millions of curtains and curtains in Rome.

The reason for the recall is that the cord inside the Rome curtain is exposed, and the child puts his neck in the middle of the cord and curtain, or when the rope is wrapped around the neck. It is easy to cause the neck to be struck. If the cord is not fixed on the wall, the child will put his neck in the neck after being put into the neck. CPSC reminds consumers to stop using these two types of curtains immediately, and contact the curtain safety committee to arrange for free maintenance. Check the curtains to determine whether there is a tension device.

For this reason, recently, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Canadian Ministry of health and the European Commission health and Consumer Protection Agency jointly called on manufacturers and standardization organizations to set mandatory international safety standards for curtains. This is the first time that the relevant agencies in 29 countries have strongly urged the establishment of mandatory safety standards for a specific product.
