PBK recalled the window coverings

EMT

we have in DD's room. 

"Pottery Barn Kids is voluntarily recalling these roman shades because we are concerned they may pose a safety hazard. A child?s neck can become entangled in the exposed inner cord on the back of the shade, posing a risk of strangulation."

They sent me an email because I purchased online with that email. I appreciate they are being proactive and they said they will send a giftcard including shipping. It's just annoying because it took us forever to find window coverings that we agreed on and that fit her windows! It's going to be pretty light in DD's room until we get them replaced though. Hopefully she will still sleep

What a PIA. I am sorry! I hope you can find a replacement sooner!

That's a bummer.  I hope you find something quick.  I know Ashlyn can't sleep in a light room.

Is it terrible that we have them also and received the recall email but decided to keep them? Honestly, I know all about the strangling hazard so we always make sure the long cord is always tightly wound up and out of reach. I don't really understand how the exposed cord in behind poses any more of a strangulation risk then the hanging down pull-cord.
