Child Safety

Millions of new blinds are sold throughout the world each year in addition to the hundreds of millions already in use. Unfortunately, children have been injured or tragically died due to accidents involving blinds in the home.

Where possible, cords should end and/or be secured at least 1.6m up from the floor

Never put a cot, bed, high chair or playpen near a window or patio door where a child can reach the blind cords or chain

Keep sofas, chairs, tables, shelves or book cases away from windows to prevent children climbing up and reaching blind cords/chain
