Child and pet safety are a top priority for you and for the Blinds Man. We have partnered with fabricators who have the same priorities – keeping your family and pets safe by providing safe window treatments.

The Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) sole mission is to ensure the safety of children around window coverings. The WCSC strongly recommends not using any corded window coverings in rooms that children will occupy.

Window cord safety recommendations:

• Install only cordless lift window coverings in bedrooms, play rooms, and sleeping areas for young children.
• Replace window blinds, cord lift shades, and draperies manufactured before 2001 with products that meet updated safety standards.
• If replacement is not possible, repair window blinds, cord lift shades, and draperies manufactured before 2001 with retrofit cord kits, available by emailing windowcoverings.org or calling 1-800-506-4636 or visit https://windowcoverings.org/retrofit-your-windows/.
• Move all cribs, beds, furniture, and toys away from windows and cords. Keep all window pull cords and inner lift cords out of children’s reach. Make sure that tasseled pull cords are short and continuous-loop cords are permanently anchored to the floor or wall. Cord stops must be properly installed and adjusted to limit the movement of inner lift cords.
• Lock cords into position whenever horizontal blinds or shades are lowered, including when they come to rest on a window sill.
