Custom-made Apara-Transiplast Window Coverings Recalled Due to Choking Hazard

What Happened

Health Canada has determined that custom-made window coverings manufactured by Apara-Transiplast Inc. do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations. The agency found that the products have small parts, specifically the end caps of the lower rails, that can easily detach. These detached components pose a significant choking hazard for young children. As of February 17, 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

Which Products Are Affected

This recall involves approximately 1,500 units of various custom-made roller blind style corded window coverings. Details include:

• Manufacturer: Apara-Transiplast Inc. (Québec, Canada)
• Style Names: Samara, Toreno, Rive, Perla, and Lamini
• Product Features: Custom sizes and colors with either a continuous chain operating mechanism or a motorized mechanism.
• Sales Period: These products were sold between January 2021 and February 2026.

What You Should Do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled window coverings and contact Apara-Transiplast Inc. to have the product corrected free of charge.

For more information, consumers can contact the company:

• Telephone: 418-653-8529 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. EST)
• Email: [email protected]

Health Canada reminds consumers that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits the redistribution, sale, or giving away of recalled products.

Why This Matters

The recall is critical because the product’s failure to meet federal safety regulations regarding small parts creates a preventable risk of choking for infants and young children.
