Window blind and shade cords can strangle young children. It can happen quickly and silently.
Protect children
- Use cordless window coverings in homes with young children
- Move cribs, beds and furniture away from windows
- Keep any cords tied up and out of reach
- Replace older corded blinds
- Check coverings in grandparents' and caregivers' homes too
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends cordless window coverings in homes with young children. Open Window Daily isn't paid by any window or curtain brand.
