No reported incidents or injuries are linked to these recalled shades. These made-to-order shades were sold at Ethan Allen Design Centers at least since 1999 and through December 2009. The recall involves all styles and sizes of Roman shades sold under the Ethan Allen brand name, but they have no labels or markings. The shade’s wholesaler is Ethan Allen Global Inc., of Danbury, Conn. Details: by phone at 888-339-9398; on the Web at www.cpsc.gov.
