Window Blind Safety Information

..Children and window covering cords don't mix. When cords are accessible to small children, these seemingly harmless products may become strangulation hazards. This is especially important with older window coverings that may not meet the latest national standard for window covering cord safety. If at all possible, use only cordless window coverings in homes where infants and young children are present. If you have corded window coverings and can't replace them with today's safer products, check them for the following hazards and order our free retrofit kits as needed. Move all cribs, beds, furniture and toys away from windows and window covering cords, preferably to another wall. Make sure that tasseled pull cords are as short as possible. Continuous-loop cords on draperies and vertical blinds should be permanently anchored to the floor or wall. Keep all window covering cords well out of the reach of children. Eliminate any dangling cords. Check that cord stops are properly installed and adjusted to limit the movement of inner lift cords.
