Dangerous Roll Up Shades

This is a video demonstrating the dangers a Roll Up Shade poses for children. This video shows each hazardous area, how many pounds of pressure break away cords can hold, and the various ways children get tangled in the cords.

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 or cord-free products.

I understand your point. This is preventable. Children are dying all over the world but this is one issue that can be solved with enough hard work. :)

I agree, but how many children are committing suicide under 7?
