WASHINGTON — The death of a toddler who was strangled by a window-shade cord spurred a huge recall Wednesday, even as the industry crafts a better standard to make window coverings in American homes safer for children.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says Hanover Direct Inc. of Weehawken, N.J., has agreed to recall about 495,000 roman shades and 28,500 blinds. The products were sold from January 1996 through October 2009.
