For more information on the hazard, see Window Covering Safety. As of August 7, 2026 , the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada. What you should do What to do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product, keep it out of reach of children and contact Sana Design Inc. to receive a replacement tension device.
