Cords that are secured to the wall

Some window covering products demand that looped cords be secured to the wall to ensure that children do not strangle on the loop.
Watch this video to find out how children can still die on these tension devices.

Parents for Window Blind Safety does NOT recommended these in homes. Children can easily reach them! We have heard many child proofing services are recommending these as a child proofing device. While they might be good for babies, once a child is old enough to climb, they are no longer safe. The safest thing you can do to "Child Proof" your home is to take all of the window coverings with cords out of your home and replace them with cordless products.
