October is National Window Covering Safety Month

Your child's safety is our top priority.

That’s why the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Window Covering Safety Council have jointly declared October as National Window Covering Safety Month.

We wish to take this opportunity to remind you to replace or retrofit corded window coverings purchased before 2001 with today's safer products.

According to information provided by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, since 1990, more than 200 infants and young children have died from accidentally strangling in window cords.

Please use the information presented here to keep your children safe from potential window-cord hazards.
