Now, a million more were added to the list after a child nearly died.
Smith and Noble is recalling 1.3 million roman shades and roller shades.
The recall follows a scary incident in which a 5-year-old boy was nearly strangled in the cord of a roller shade.
The recalled blinds were sold on the Smith and Noble website between 1998 and April 2010.

The Company Says:
Remedy: Consumers should immediately stop using the Roman shades and contact the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) for a free repair kit at (800) 506-4636 anytime or visit window-coverings.org. Consumers should check the roller shades to make sure the tension device provided is attached to the continuous loop cord and installed into the wall. If not attached, consumers should attach the tension device securely to the wall. If they no longer have the tension device, consumers should immediately stop using the roller shades and contact WCSC to receive a free replacement tension device.
