Child Safety

Safety at home

Accidental strangulation can happen very quickly.
Do not leave your children unattended in a room where they may become entangled in blind or curtain cords.


If you already have corded blinds or curtains in your home:
  • Keep the cords out of reach of children
  • Visit the shop where you bought the blinds or a hardware store, to see if you can modify the blinds to make them safer.
If you are thinking about buying corded blinds or curtains for your home:
  • Make sure they have safe design features and carry warnings about potential strangulation hazards
  • Make sure no loops are left hanging down.
