There are 8 ways children are strangling to death in America from the cords of window coverings. Four of these ways can happen on window coverings that you bought from the store recently.

New window coverings on the market today are promoted by the industry as products that parents can feel more confident about regarding their child's safety.

We are here to tell you this is a lie. Children have been strangled to death on these new products and you are not being told about it. We are here to show you how these new products that have cord-safety features built into window coverings can still strangle your child to death.

Let's first look at what these "safety features" are and what exactly the industry did to try to make them safer.

The safety features consist of 2 tassels to separate the pull cord from being one big loop. These tassels were placed on all window coverings manufactured after 1994. The safety features also have little plastic beads on them to prevent the inner cord from being pulled out. These were placed on products manufactured after November of 2000!
