Are window blind and curtain cords regulated?
We anticipate that a new CSA standard for window blind and curtain cords will be regulated in the spring of 2009. Here’s what you can do with old blind and curtain cords: Older window blinds have inside cords (vertical cords that hold blind slats together) that form a loop if pulled by a young child. If window blinds have inside cords that can form a loop when pulled, they should be thrown out. The pull cords of all blind and curtain cords should be cut short and tied up high where a child cannot reach them.
