Ikea Canada has voluntarily recalled 1.7 million blinds because they could be potentially harmful for children if they are installed incorrectly.

A recall notice has been posted on Ikea’s website to notify consumers of the hazard. The recall includes Roll up Blinds, Roman blinds and Roller blinds. Each of these blinds have chords and looped beaded chains that could present a choking hazard if installed incorrectly and placed around a child’s neck.

The recall comes after the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission received a report about a toddler almost being strangled in Massachusetts last year. The blinds may be brought back to the Canadian Ikea for a refund.
