October is Window Covering Safety Month

In response to a recent study, citing a substantial number of window treatment cord-related incidents involving children under the age of two, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has designated October as “Window Covering Safety Month.”

In recognition of “Window Covering Safety Month,”Budget Blinds, the largest and fastest-growing window covering Franchise in the United States , offers the following tips to help homeowners make their window treatment areas safer for children, pets and themselves:

• Place cribs and other low-standing furniture (beds, bookshelves, toy boxes, chairs, etc.) as far away from windows as possible
• Try to keep all cords out of reach from small children and pets
• Equip existing window blind cords with safety tassels or consider using cordless window coverings, which are widely available and cost-efficient
• Install retractable cords that remain at a constant length when the shade is not being operated, making it less accessible to children and pets
• Motorize your window coverings to eliminate choking and entanglement hazards from cords
• Secure all pull cords out of reach by using either a cleat or permanent tie-down device
• Install window guards, as screens are meant to keep insects out but may not be strong enough to stop a child or pet from falling out a window

“Our goal is to provide safe and high quality service and products to our customers,” said Chad Hallock, CEO of Budget Blinds.  “Budget Blinds applauds the efforts of organizations such as the CSPC and all others that work to protect consumers from potentially dangerous products and situations.”
