Despite the fact that hundreds of children have been killed and thousands injured by corded window blinds over the last few decades alone, these hazardous products have remained in commercial circulation. While the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has issued updated standards and requirements for window blind companies through the years, this industry has been slow to make meaningful changes. To add insult to injury, not only are many of the CPSC’s standards voluntary, but window blind companies have found loopholes.

Even though recent changes have effectively banned stock corded window blinds or required that cords in these products be inaccessible, countless of these potentially dangerous products remain in households across the nation. The CPSC’s rules also fail to sufficiently address the various cords found in custom window coverings. Not only cord loops but tilt cords, cord connectors, and cord joiners are all mechanisms that have been linked to far too many instances of child injuries and fatalities.
When any company designs, manufactures, or sells a defective or dangerous product, and that product injures or kills someone, it can be held legally responsible for financial damages.
