For homes with young children and blinds, shades or curtain cords. Check window-side furniture and product instructions. Replacement cost depends on model and fitting. Tying cords up does not eliminate the hazard.

Your try-it-at-home checklist

0 / 4 done

Inspect blinds and shades in children's rooms for hanging pull cords, loops and internal lift cords.
Move beds, cribs, chairs, desks and toys away from windows and accessible cords.
When replacement is possible, choose cordless coverings and check the product's safety standard and installation instructions.
If immediate replacement is impossible, consult official manufacturer and safety-agency guidance for interim mitigation; such measures do not eliminate the risk.
