The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, a federal agency that publishes safety information and rules about consumer products, including window coverings with cords.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is the federal agency responsible for protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury from consumer products. It has published safety information and rules about corded window coverings and strangulation hazards for young children. Families in Nashville use its guidance when they check blinds, shades and drapery cords in their homes.
For window treatment projects, the agency is a good source on why cordless and inaccessible-cord products matter and what to look for on labels. We follow the same principle in our recommendations and are glad to check your existing coverings and explain which ones need attention. Official rules and product details can change, and the agency site is the place to check current information.
