"But finally let me note that levelor added the huge black and orange warning labels re the danger of strangulation to the bottoms of the last set of cordless blinds that I ordered..."

They are cordless??? and you still have a warning label?! I can see the need for a warning label *on* the cord, but isn't this just overkill in the warning department. You can't even buy a bucket any longer that doesn't have a drowning warning on it.

Can you get your money back? If not, is it possible to paint over it?

I know this thread is old, but I was able to get the label off by first tearing it off, then scraping the paper residue off with my fingernail and water, then getting the adhesive off with a small amount of peanut butter. It took a little while. I think I used a damp paper towel to scrub the peanut butter. Be sure not to get any of the peanut butter on the fabric shade.

Worked like a charm, and no scratches.

BTW, when I called levolor customer service, I was told it was OK to remove the label on a cordless shade. The label that needs to stay for warranty is the white ID label on the back or interior of the header. The two labels on the bottom pull bar can be removed. (Warning label should stay if corded.)

Thank you all.
