Strangulation Danger – Roman and Roll-Up Shades
My daughter-in-law and I were talking the other day about how to set up the coming babies’ room — where to put the cribs, were to put the changing table, etc. The room has a window that gets lots of light, so it needs some sort of covering.
Because she’s read so much about the dangers of strangulation injury and death from the cords on Roman shades and roll up blinds, she’s already thinking about arranging the furniture so the cribs are nowhere near the window.
Most of the shades and blinds have recently been recalled for repair. Here’s the link to the Consumer Product Safety Commission recall article. Check out your child’s caregiver’s house, too. The Window Covering Safety Council is offering a free repair kit to retrofit shades or blinds with clips.You can either go to the website or call 800-506-4636 to get the kit.
