Since 1990, over 16,000 children under age six were treated in US emergency rooms for injuries from window treatments. In addition to these injuries, there have been over 300 deaths associated with becoming entangled in window treatment cords. To address these risks, every Stoneside window treatment conforms strictly to today's safety standards, including permanent tie-down devices and built-in cord stops. In addition, we offer many cordless or motorized options which allow you to further reduce risks to children or pets.
