Two IKEA home products recalled nationwide for posing a hazard to kids

Health Canada has issued a recall for two IKEA products nationwide, as they pose a risk to children.

The products — Trippevals and Hoppvals cellular blinds — failed to comply with updated Canadian regulations set for corded window coverings.

“The design of the product does not properly address the hazards of small parts, which can present a choking hazard to young children,” says the federal agency, adding that 127,857 units of the affected products have been sold in Canada.

Here’s what the products look like:
