• Install only cordless window coverings in young children’s bedrooms and play areas.
• Replace window blinds, corded shades and drapereies manufactured before 2001 with today’s safer products.
• Move all cribs, beds, furniture and toys away from windows and window cords, preferably to another wall.
• Keep all window pull cords and inner lift cords out of the reach of children. Make sure that tassled pull cords are short and continuous-loop cords are permanently anchored to the floor or wall. Make sure cord stops are properly installed and adjusted to limit movement of inner left cords.

• Lock cords into position whenever horizontal blinds or shades are lowered, including when they come to rest on a windowsill.
