Luxury Window Coverings Offers Parents Peace Of Mind With Child-Safe Window Coverings
If you’re a parent with a toddler, you know your curious little one can get up to all kinds of trouble if you don’t keep an eye on them. Whether it’s to keep them from making a mess or, most importantly, keep them safe. Most parents are alarmed to hear that blinds and shades could pose a significant safety hazard. In fact, worldwide, young children and babies have been killed or injured by corded window coverings. In a November 2013 Health Canada report, a total of 36 deaths and 26 near-deaths have been linked to corded window coverings since 1986. Similar rates have been reported in the United States. The children involved in these cases are mostly between the ages of 10 months and three years.
The Danger
The danger from these blinds are due to the cords used to move the blinds up and down. Small children have been found with their heads and necks caught in these cords. And due to their limited hand mobility, children can’t untangle themselves and run the risk of strangulation.
Window Blind Cords
Yet many households still have cords on the window coverings in their homes. If you do, we recommend that you take immediate steps to prevent your children from strangulation. You should cut window blind cords and use safety tassels and inner cord stops to child-proof your blinds. We encourage all parents to inspect your current window blinds to make your home safer. Health Canada warns that any type of blind cord is a strangulation risk and recommends removing corded window coverings completely.
