WE DESIGN WITH SAFETY IN MIND — A RESPONSIBILITY WE TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY
Child safety is serious business. Child safety continues to be one of the most critical issues we can address today. Injuries to young children often happen at home because this is where they spend most of their time. Children are innately curious about the world around them. So, even essential household items like window fashions can turn into potential hazards for them. We can teach you how to childproof your blinds, to stop your child from falling & hanging from the window blind cords… giving you a little peace of mind.

WARNING NOTIFICATIONS
The window coverings industry uses warning tags, warning labels, and other methods to communicate the potential hazards of corded window fashions. The warnings shown here, for example, communicate the important message about cords being a potential strangulation hazard and suggest choosing cordless alternatives or products with inaccessible cords. Together with the Window Covering Safety Council, Hunter Douglas encourages you to install only cordless window fashions in locations where young children are typically present, especially where they play and sleep.
PREVENTION BEGINS WITH AWARENESS OF WINDOW CHILD SAFETY
• Position cribs, beds, playpens, and other furniture away from windows.
• Check your current window fashions for exposed or dangling cords. Move cords out of reach of children.
• If possible, replace corded window fashions with cordless options.
• Permanently anchor continuous-loop window fashion cords to the wall.
We recommend installing window guards & window stops on all double-hung and any hung windows for that matter. We recommend installing window stops for any open windows as well, to give you a childproof window. A child or pet climbing up a window could have a window fall, resulting in falling through the cords of your window treatments & this can cause choking on the cords, resulting in injury and/or death.
