# Major Recall Alert: Harmony Alternating Blinds from Storimage Inc. Recalled Due to Strangulation Hazard
Health Canada has issued a major safety recall for Harmony Alternating Blinds from Storimage Inc., as the product does not comply with the Corded Window Coverings Regulations. These blinds pose a significant strangulation hazard to young children. The cords included with the blinds can form dangerous loops, which children may pull around their necks or become entangled in, potentially causing serious injury or even death.
To reduce risks, Health Canada strongly recommends replacing corded blinds with cordless alternatives. If you own these blinds, continue reading for all the details and next steps you must take to ensure your family’s safety.

Health Canada has implemented strict regulations for corded blinds to prevent these hazards. Unfortunately, the recalled product has been deemed non-compliant, prompting today’s urgent recall announcement.
Protecting children from these avoidable accidents is essential, and making the switch to cordless window coverings is one of the simplest and most effective ways to do so.
