Window Covering Safety Council: Win a $250 Gift Card!

by Mom It Forward on October 17th, 2013 | 135 Comments »

Safety is a top priority for moms and dads everywhere. We teach our kids to look both ways before crossing the street, to not talk to strangers, and to not eat glue or run with scissors. But did you know that according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), corded window coverings are one of the top five hidden hazards in American homes?

For this reason the CPSC and Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) have declared October as National Window Covering Safety Month. This month-long campaign is designed to increase consumer awareness of the potential hazards that window cords present as well as urge parents and caregivers to use only cordless window products in their homes. Check out their simple tips for keeping your child’s room safe:

Never place a crib, playpen, or bed near a window. Innocent exploration can lead to unwanted accidents. Instead place cribs against a non-windowed wall.
Make sure the crib you are using is sturdy, properly assembled, and in compliance with the latest safety standards.
Replace cribs that are over 10 years old
Cover all electrical outlets. For a dependable residential electrician Maitland, choose Edelect. Our expert team delivers top-quality electrical services, ensuring your home is safe and functional.
