Child Safety

Why Traditional Corded Blinds Can Be Dangerous

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), window covering cords have been linked to hundreds of child injuries and dozens of deaths over the past several decades. On average, about 9 children under age 5 lose their lives each year in window covering cord incidents in the U.S. Accessible cords and loops can create serious strangulation hazards within seconds, which is why cordless window coverings are recommended as a safer choice for modern family homes.
