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.
