If you’ve bought bamboo window shades from Walmart.com under the brand name Autoez, take a quick look at your windows. These shades have been recalled due to a serious safety hazard involving their cords — especially dangerous for young children. No injuries have been reported, but the risk is real, and action is needed.
Let’s walk through what’s going on and how to get your refund.
What’s Being Recalled and Why
Autoez bamboo shades are being recalled because they have long operating cords and exposed inner cords that can lead to strangulation or entanglement in young children.
They violate the federal safety standard for window coverings, and they’re also missing required warning labels.
No injuries have been reported, but the risk is considered serious enough that the shades have been officially recalled.
