Child safety continues to be a priority for all blind and window covering manufacturers. Health Canada has implemented Corded Window Coverings Regulations which help to protect children from the risks associated with corded window coverings. It is recommended to replace all corded window coverings to eliminate this risk entirely. Learn some other steps to take.
These include;
- Removing corded window coverings in areas where children play (ie. Playroom or bedrooms)
- Never place a crib or furniture near a corded window covering where a child could reach them
- Install tie down devices high up on walls to keep cords out of reach
- Attach tension devices supplied with the product to the wall so that children cannot place the cord around their neck
- Always follow manufacturers warnings, labels and installation instructions
