Household Product Sold on Amazon Recalled for Strangulation Risk

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a recall of Persilux Zebra Blinds over potential serious risks.

About 133,000 units of the window blinds, which are sold on Amazon, have been recalled, per the CPSC. The notice says they present a choking risk and can cause serious injury or death in the worst cases.

"The recalled blinds have long operating cords that can cause death or serious injury to children, due to strangulation and entanglement hazards," the recall said. "The blinds violate the federal rule for window coverings and present a substantial product hazard. In addition, the blinds also violate labeling requirements for window coverings."

What to know

The recall was officially initiated last Thursday, September 25, 2025. The Persilux blinds were sold in five colors--beige, black, dark gray, light gray and white--and came in sizes ranging from 22 to 73 inches wide and 64 to 72 inches high.

The product contains the number “X003FFPT63” on its barcode and "Persilux" and "Zebra blinds" written on the packaging.

Amazon sold these blinds between June 2023-June 2025.

What to do if you own this product?

The CPSC is telling customers who have purchased these blinds to stop using them and reach out to Persilux for a repair kit, which contains a new operating cord wand and instructions on how to install.

"Consumers should remove the blind, cut and remove the operating cord and send a photograph of the blinds, with the operating cord removed, to recall@persiluxhome.com," the recall notice said.

The good news here is that no injuries have been reported thus far.
