When you’re shopping for child safe window treatments in PA, remember one word: cordless
Over the past three decades, hundreds of children have been killed or sustained serious injuries due to the cords on window blinds. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regularly lists window cords as one of the top household hazards.
With that in mind, safety advocates and the window industry now say cordless blinds are the only option.
“There are no acceptable alternatives with cords at this point,” says Linda Kaiser, founder of Parents for Window Blind Safety, told Parents magazine in 2011.
