As parents we want to make sure that our child’s safety comes first. In the past couple of years the CPSC (Consumer Protection Safety Commission) has increased its efforts to reduce the number of deaths each year attributed to strangulation from cording on shades and corded blinds. The Shades and Blinds most affected by the recent recalls are mostly foreign made coming primarily out of China. Of the millions of shades that have been recalled most are ready made shades that are carried by the largest retailers such as Home Depot™, Lowes™, Walmart™, Target™, Pier One™, and Bed Bath and Beyond™. At Superior View, we require all of our manufactures to provide proof that all of our products are child safe and CPSC approved. The single greatest danger from these shades and blinds is the cording on the back side of the shades and blinds which can be pulled out away from the shade allowing the child to stick their head through and wrap it around their neck. A great option for families with children would be our cordless cellular shade, also known as a Honeycomb shade which removes any chance of a child or person getting harmed by cords. These shades are not only child and pet friendly, but they also look great! Gone are the days when cords are dangling or getting caught up on things. There are also numerous shades (honeycomb, cellular, silhouette, and sheer) and fabrics available in these. All of these shade fabrics are available in Light Filtering and Black out fabrics. Light Filtering fabrics are a great choice for diffusing light and adding privacy in all areas of the home. Even a dual shade such as day/night can be more effective than any other shade. Cordless Cell Shades provide the maximum amount of assurance when it comes to Child Safety as well as providing the beauty and value to your home that you have been looking for.
