National Window Covering Safety Month

Pet-friendly Window Shades and Blinds in New Jersey

It’s October, which means we’re well into spooky season, with shorter days, longer nights, and cooler temps. It also means that it’s National Window Covering Safety Month, with a focus on safe window treatments, especially when it comes to children and pets. At Window Treats serving Monmouth Beach, we’re focused on ensuring that the products we sell maintain the highest safety standards, so you can rest assured your new window fashions be safe. Contact one of our specialists for more info today!

Remove the Dangers

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission ranks corded window fashions as one of the top five hidden dangers to children in a home. Dangling cords can strangle curious toddlers or infants, and it can all happen in a matter of seconds. The best bet is to use window fashions that are cordless or that have hidden or otherwise inaccessible cords. If your window treatments do have cords, move any beds, cribs, other furniture, and toys away from windows, keeping the cords out of reach by cutting them short or tying them up. You can also order a retrofit kit from the Window Covering Safety Council at https://windowcoverings.org/retrofit-your-windows/.
