<description><![CDATA[On
Aug. 26, 2009, Target, in partnership with the Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), voluntarily recalled two Home brand styles of Victoria
Classics Roman Shades and all styles of Woolrich Roman
Shades by Lewis Hyman Inc. 



Roman
shades may pose a safety hazard to children from the exposed inner shade cords.
A child's neck can become entangled in the exposed cord on the back of the
shade, causing risk of strangulation. Guests
who have purchased recalled Roman Shades from Target should immediately stop
using the shades and contact the manufacturer for a free retrofit kit.



Contact
     Victoria Classics toll-free at (800) 583-9845 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET
     daily, or visit the firm’s Web site at www.victoriaclassics.com.Contact
Lewis Hyman toll-free at (877) 354-5457 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT daily, or
visit the firm’s Web site at www.lewishymaninc.com/recall.
The repair kits for the Woolrich Roman Shades will be available by the end of
September.





Guests
may also opt to return the recalled Roman Shades to Target for a full
refund.No receipt or proof of purchase is necessary to return a recalled
product to a Target store. 



As
a result of the safety hazard associated with Roman Shades, Target has
temporarily pulled all Roman Shade products from our shelves and Target.com
until retrofit/repair kits are available in the coming weeks. 



Providing
high-quality and safe products to our guests is a top priority for Target. We
have a layered product safety program in place to help ensure guest safety and
are committed to partnering with the CPSC on all product recalls. In addition
to posting recall notices on our in-store kiosk system and providing updates on
Target.com, we have internal measures in place to help ensure guests are not
able to purchase impacted products once a recall has been initiated. 



If
guests have further questions, we encourage them to contact Target Guest
Relations at 1-800-440-0680.<img src="http://pressroom.target.com/rss.ashx?id=225174" height="1" width="1" />]]></description>
