Window blinds sold at Amazon, Walmart recalled over strangulation hazards

WASHINGTON - The Consumer Product Safety Commission, or CPSC, announced two separate recalls Thursday for a combined total of more than 133,000 window coverings sold on Amazon and Walmart.com.
The products, Persilux Zebra Blinds and Autoez Bamboo Shades, contain cords that violate federal safety regulations, posing strangulation and entanglement risks to young children, which can result in death or serious injury.
Third-party sellers sold the recalled items on the retailers’ online platforms. The CPSC has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to either of the recalled products.
The larger recall involves approximately 133,000 units of Persilux-branded zebra blinds, sold on Amazon from June 2023 through June 2025 for between $40 and $124. The blinds were imported by Zhejiang Xidamen New Material Co. Ltd., of China, operating as the Amazon seller Persilux.
These blinds, sold in beige, black, dark gray, light gray, and white, have long operating cords that violate the federal rule for window coverings and labeling requirements. The packaging is marked with “Persilux” and “Zebra Blinds,” and the barcode label includes “X003FFPT63.”
Consumers who purchased the Persilux blinds should immediately stop using them and contact Persilux for a free repair kit, which includes a replacement operating cord wand. The remedy requires consumers to remove the blind, cut and remove the operating cord, and send a photograph of the modified product to the company at recall@persiluxhome.com.

The CPSC also announced the recall of about 550 Autoez Bamboo Shades, sold on Walmart.com from September 2023 through May 2025 for between $21 and $50. The shades were imported by Sichuan Yunduan Renjia Trading Co. Ltd., of China, doing business as the Walmart seller Autoez.
The Autoez shades, which are brown, have long operating cords and accessible inner cords that present a risk of strangulation and entanglement to children. The shades also violate the federal safety rule and labeling requirements for window coverings.
Consumers should immediately cease use of the recalled Autoez shades and contact the company for a full refund. The remedy instructs consumers to remove the shades, cut the operating cord, write “Recalled” on the shades, and dispose of the product. A photograph of the destroyed shades in the garbage should be sent to Autoez at Autoez_recall@163.com. Additional details can be found at https://sites.google.com/view/recall-autoez.
The CPSC advises consumers to remove all corded window coverings from homes with young children, stating that the products present a known strangulation hazard. Window coverings that meet the updated federal safety standard do not have operating cords or inner cords that can form a hazardous loop.
