This can help prevent against many hazards, especially falls. Be sure miniblinds and venetian blinds do not have looped cords. Check that vertical blinds, continuous looped blinds, and drapery cods have tension or tie-down devices to hold the cords tight. These safety devices can prevent strangulation in the loops of window blind and curtain cords. Be sure that there are no drawstrings around the hood and neck of children's outerwear clothing.
Drawstrings can catch on playground and other equipment and can strangle young children.
Check that no recalled products are being used and that a current list of recalled children's products is readily visible. Recalled products pose a threat of injury or death. Displaying a list of recalled products would remind caretakers and parents to remove or repair potentially dangerous children's toys and products. All rights reserved.
