Number of Americans unaware of strangulation hazards related to window covering pull cords
1 Pull all furniture, including beds and cribs, or anything that can be climbed away from the windows.

2 Keep all window covering cords up, and out of the reach of children. Tuck the cord up around the top of the blinds.

3 In any home with small children install only cordless window coverings.
4 Keep pull cords as short as they can functionally be. Any continuous-loop pull cords like those on vertical blinds and cellular shades need to be fixed to the wall or floor.
5 Limit the movement of cords between blinds slats by installing cord stops and adjusting them so they have limited movement. According to the WCSC study, this is a hazard that many Americans are still not aware of.
But parents need to be aware that if the inner-cords on window blinds and shades are loose, a child could pull the cord out enough to fit their head between them and be hurt.
