Ikea is also recalling window blinds because strangulations can occur if the blind's looped bead chain is not attached to the wall or the floor with the tension device. This recall involves all Isdans, Tupplur and Enje roller blinds. If you have one of the blinds you should check to make sure the tension device is attached to the wall or floor. If not you should stop using the roller blinds and contact Ikea to receive a free repair kit.
