Window treatments that have operating cords (cords that you use to raise and lower the window treatment) are a potential home hazard. That’s because those operating cords—especially long, dangling cords—can present a strangulation risk to infants and young children.


 
Making window treatments that are safer for homes with infants and young children has long been a top priority for Hunter Douglas. And with October being National Window Covering Safety Month, we urge you to use only window treatments with cordless operating systems or inaccessible cords if you have infants or young children in your home.
