⚠️ Risk

The product poses a risk of strangulation, especially for small children, due to the presence of a long operative loop (approximately 120 cm long) and the absence of devices for keeping the bead chain (loop) out of the reach of the children. The product does not comply with the EN-13120 Internal blinds. One fatal accident reported.
