CHILD SAFETY - WINDOW BLIND CORDS
| Window cords and young
children don't mix. From infant to preschooler, they are unaware and unsuspecting of
the many dangers of cords. |
 |
BASIC
PRECAUTIONS |
 |
The key to window cord
safety is to eliminate or severely reduce a child's access to windows and window cords:
Make sure all cribs and low-standing furniture (beds, bookshelves, toy boxes, etc.) are
moved away from windows, preferably against another wall. |
| Lock pull cords into
position whether the blind is up or down.
Eliminate dangling cords and secure all pull cords out of reach by using either a cleat
or permanent tie-down device.
|
|
To avoid possible
strangulation keep cords out of reach of children. Use these options:
- Clamp with paper clip
- Tie off on cleat
- Tie cord or chain to itself
- Tie-down device.
Move crib, cot and furniture away from child's reach. |
