Hunter Douglas Duette Cellular Shades for Child Safety
It’s sometimes easy for people to overlook the potential hazards of window treatments, especially when it comes to children and pets. However, window treatments and infants can be a terrible mix. But today, there is no reason for us to lose another child through “Infant Cord Strangulation.” If you have not updated your functioning window treatments, perhaps it is time.
If you have older window treatments, you can order a free retrofit kit by contacting the Window Covering Safety Council by phone at 1-800-506-4636 or by email at info@windowcoverings.org. You could also get the new, cost-effective Safe-T-Wand. The first option is a simple fashion wand that encases hanging, dangling, and strangling cords. The second option is for woven wood and Roman shades. Called the ProLift™ system, it will lock the strings in place so your children can’t get their head in the cords. Click here to learn more about the Safe-T-Wand retrofit kits and where to buy them. [Read more…]
