Six companies, including IKEA, Pottery Barn Kids and Target, are recalling over 5.4 million blinds and shades after 3 children were killed and 7 were injured when they got tangled in the cords. Here's a list of the products affected by the recall and how you can find out if your window treatments are included.

• Oval Roll-up Blinds or Woolrich Roman Shades imported by Lewis Hyman, Inc and sold at Target or Target.com. Go to the Lewis Hyman website to find out if you're blinds are part of the recall.


• MELINA Roman Blinds sold at IKEA with a sewn-in label at the top edge of the blind with the IKEA logotype, article name (MELINA), 5-digit supplier number 19395, four digit date stamp (YYWW) and the words "Made in Taiwan". Go to the IKEA website to find out what you should do if your blinds fit this description.


• All roman shades with exposed inner cords on the back sold through the Pottery Barn Kids catalog and website from January 2003 through May 2007. Contact Pottery Barn Kids for more information.

Even though none of my window treatments are a part of this recall, it's a good reminder to check them all for looped pull cords or exposed inner cords when I go home tonight. And if I find any, I think I'll be taking them down.
