October is Window Covering Safety Month. It’s a nationwide effort to remind parents and caregivers to check their window coverings for exposed or dangling cords that can pose a hazard to infants and young children.

Here are some tips from the Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) to keep in mind:
- Move all furniture, cribs, beds and climbable surfaces away from windows.
- Keep all window cords well out of the reach of children.
- Install only cordless window coverings in homes with young children.
- Make sure tasseled pull cords are as short as possible. Continuous-loop pull cords on draperies and vertical blinds should be pulled tight and anchored to the floor or wall.
- Be sure cord stops are properly installed and adjusted to limit inner-cord movement.
