Blind cords and chains can pose a risk to babies, children and vulnerable people who could injure or even strangle themselves on the hanging looped cords.

You can take steps to reduce the risk by securing the looped cords and chains with one of the many safety devices available.

Shades will discuss the options available to you and recommend various options:-

Control Guard:-
