This months Stuff to Scrap's blog train is all about Childhood Safety. My portion of the train is focused on window blind safety. It isn't only window "blinds" but all window coverings with cords. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, 120 children have strangled on widow cord blinds in the U.S. since 1999. This equals one child every month. There were also 113 serious injuries. This isn't a concern for babies but children of all ages. Many people don't realize but there was a recall of ALL Roman shades and roll up blinds December 2009 because they are unsafe for children. If your window coverings have a cord... anywhere... they are not safe. There are safe options out there for familes. Please educate yourself for the safety of your children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews, neighbors and friends. There is nothing worse than the loss of a child. To learn more... please visit Parents for Window Blind Safety. You can see videos of why cords are unsafe. There are links to safe options. You are welcome to ask any question you might have.
