A line of window shades that pose a strangulation hazard for small children are among this week's recalled consumer products. Others include strollers and water heaters.

Here's a more detailed look:

WINDOW SHADES

DETAILS: Blinds To Go custom-made window shades. They have a clear, P-shaped hook to hold down the cord. The cord or chain loop of the window shades clips into the device. The hook is screwed to the side of the wall or window during installation. It was shipped with the Blinds To Go custom-made roller shades with Sidewinders, Smartlift pleated and cellular shades, Panel Tracks shades and Serenity shades. They were sold at Blinds To Go showrooms and online at http://www.blindstogo.com for between $60 and $770 from January 2009 to November 2014.

WHY: The shade's chain or cord loop can slip out of the hook, posing a strangulation hazard for small children.
