Safety
Pull and tilt cords are dangerous to young children and pets, as they may cause strangulation. The risk is reduced by keeping the pull cord high-knotted, secure and out of reach of small children and pets. Cord repair kits include cord stops, tassels and tie down devices. Blinds with wand tilt are safer than blinds with traditional cord tilt. There are also cordless blinds. The dangling group of pull cords is replaced by a spring motor system. A push or pull on the bottom bar raises or lowers the mini blind rather than using pull cords.
