Vertical blinds make them child safe
As recently as the 04.07.10 doctors and nurses are calling for the revamping of window blinds to make them child safe, as yet more children become victims of trailing cords or loops. Find out what you can do to help keep your child safe.
Online, July 28, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Sadly you only have to open a local paper or do a search online and you will find instances of small children getting tangled in trailing loops or cords from window blinds.
As you are no doubt aware some of the largest window blinds chains in America have had to recall thousands of products because of this hazard.
Now British consumers are facing the same situation,however the recall is voluntary at the moment. Each online retailer must do everything it can to ensure that toddlers are kept safe.
Many companies are already adopting the British Blinds and Shutters website "make it safe" slogan.
Sadly may others see child safety devices on all types of window blinds as optional extras. As yet there does not seem to be any figures on the number of injuries or deaths per year.
Blinds companies must step up and see that these devices are not an optional extra but a must have.
Safety in the home is paramount to every parent, follow these simple steps to make your window blinds safe:
Keep cots and beds away from windows.
Use a wand control on new blinds
Buy a child safety cleat online for as little as £3.50 for two.
