If you have a Roller Blind Sun Shade, please check that the bottom bar isn't broken.
Recently, I found my six month old baby boy holding half of the metal strip from the bottom of the blind facing up towards his chin. The metal bar which keeps the bottom straight and weights it down has a potential weak point in the centre where it's riveted into the blind. Ours somehow got broken.
Had I swerved, braked quickly, if he'd moved suddenly, or even simply decided to put it into his mouth, the strip could've seriously hurt him.
I took it back to the shop, and their response was to offer me an exchange for a new one! I asked for it to be sent to their Quality team and their [eventual] response was that as this had been an isolated incidence, they would not be taking any further action other than to suggest to the manufacturer that they investigate using plastic instead of metal.
I was very disappointed that the shop and manufacturer didn't feel that my baby being at risk of at the very least being hurt warranted further action as it was an isolated accident, but I really hope that they are right.
This is why I want to get this message around to as many parents and carers as possible. Please help me to ensure that that it IS an isolated incidence by regularly checking your roller blinds for breaks in the metal, or consider switching to the Pop-up version.
