How To Retrofit

Install only cordless window coverings in homes with young children. Parents and caregivers should replace older corded window coverings with today’s safer products.

However, if you prefer to keep your older window treatments, the following instructions will help you retrofit them.

ELIMINATE LOOPED PULL CORDS
(pre-1995 miniblinds and pleated shades)

1. Cut the looped pull cord above the tassel, and remove equalizer buckle (if any).
2. Insert cord through tassel and tie cord ends to secure the tassel.

INSTALL CORD STOPS
(all pre-2001 horizontal blinds and corded shades)

1. Lower the blind to its proper length and lock cords into position at head rail.For each pull cord:
2. Pinch together a portion of the pull cord to create a loop near the head rail, then slide the cord stop over the loop end.
3. Slip the free end of the pull cord through the loop to loosely knot the cord stop onto the pull cord.
4. Tighten the knot to secure the cord stop one to two inches below the head rail to limit movement of inner lift cords.

INSTALL TIE-DOWN DEVICES
(pre-1997 vertical blinds and draperies)

1. Insert cord or chain into tie-down device.
2. Attach the tie-down device to the floor or wall so that the cord is fully extended and securely fastened.

Basic Window Cord Safety

What to Look For…

Children and window cords don’t mix. When window cords are accessible to small children, these seemingly harmless products may become strangulation hazards.

This is especially important with older window coverings that may not meet the latest national standard for window cord safety.   If at all possible, use only non-corded window coverings in homes where infants and young children are present.

If you have corded window coverings and can’t replace them with today’s safer products, check them for the following hazards and order our free retrofit kits as needed.

• Move all cribs, beds, furniture and toys away from windows and window cords, preferably to another wall.
   
• Keep all window cords well out of the reach of children.  Eliminate any dangling cords.
• Make sure that tasseled pull cords are as short as possible
• Check that cord stops are properly installed and adjusted to limit the movement of inner lift cords. 
• Continuous-loop cords on draperies and vertical blinds should be permanently anchored to the floor or wall.
