Every October, LA Shades and Blinds joins the nationwide effort to promote window covering safety. We believe that beautiful design should never come at the expense of peace of mind. As part of National Window Covering Safety Month, we’re reminding homeowners that safety and style can, and should, go hand in hand.
The Hidden Danger Behind Cords
Traditional blinds and shades with hanging cords might seem harmless, but they pose real risks to children and pets. Loose or looped cords can become entangled during play, leading to serious injuries or even fatalities that are completely preventable.
According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), corded window coverings are among the top hidden hazards in American homes. Both the CPSC and the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) strongly recommend replacing older corded blinds with cordless or motorized options to remove these dangers entirely.
