Blind cord fatalities continue worldwide unabated. The solution from both legislators and manufacturers alike is to create new cordless blinds. But the reality is that millions upon millions of corded blinds already exist in countless homes here in Australia and in other countries.
Children under 5 years are particularly vulnerable. It takes less than a minute for a child to be asphyxiated when tangled in a blind cord. LESS THAN ONE MINUTE. Unfortunately children are still succumbing to such strangulations. Even those rescued are often left with permanent brain damage.
Rented properties, older homes and in many cases where young families are socially disadvantaged or ‘starting out’ often are fitted with these blinds. It is legally required in all Australian States that such blinds are fitted with ‘safety devices’. Usually that is a 15c ineffective cleat made of plastic fitted 1.6 m from the floor.
With Venetian and plantation style blinds the cleat simply does not capture the whole of the blind cord. The solution is to add more cleats. These are exposed. Children from 5 upwards can easily unwind them and often do, to the detriment of their younger siblings.
The Cordaway device is purpose designed. It has much bigger internal hooks (cleats) fixed to a backing plate that is fitted to the window architrave or wall. Wind the cord on and it is fully enclosed once the snap on cover is fitted. It’s a simple easy procedure for an adult. It’s somewhat more difficult for children and quite the deterrent.
So don’t delay. Buy now. You can either SHOP here on Facebook (use the Shop button on this page) or you can purchase via our website here. The units cost $9.60 each.
Be safe, be sure. Make your home safe with Cordaway. Your children deserve it!
