Concern Grows Over Window Blind Safety

On an idyllic August day in 2009, Kathleen Leeson took black prophecy gold her children to church, fed them leftover pizza and planned to take them to the park.But before buy black prophecy gold they left, she decided to put her 2-year-old foster son, Angel, down for a nap. A short time later, her cheap black prophecy gold daughter came out of the bedroom and announced that Angel was “sleeping in the window with something around his black prophecy power leveling neck.”Ms. Leeson, who lives in Montgomery Village, Md., found him lifeless and hanging an inch off the floor, with a window-blind cord wow cd key wrapped around his neck. “I was screaming his name and shaking him, and the realization hit me, ‘Oh my God. This can’t be cataclysm collector's edition happening.’ ”For the last 25 years or so, manufacturers of window wow cataclysm collector’s edition blinds have installed safety wotlk cd key features and offered tips to parents to try to minimize the dangers from their products. Even so, children like Angel continue to strangle on the cords with grim regularity, an average wrath of the lich king cd key of one a month.Now, prodded by a Missouri mother whose daughter was strangled in a window blind, the wotlk key has asked manufacturers to devise a way to eliminate the risks from window cords or perhaps face mandatory wrath of the lich king key regulations. Critics of the industry complain that manufacturers have dragged their feet on addressing safety hazards for world of warcraft time card decades, making minor tweaks or putting the onus on parents to shorten cords or buy tie-down devices. Until buy wow cd key recently, regulators have done little to crack down, they say.In response to the cheap wow cd key commission’s latest push, the industry, working with a task force of regulators and consumer advocates, says it will come up with a fix by the fall.But the negotiations have gotten off to a rocky buy wow key start. Like some other regulatory battles that involve consumer safety, this one comes down to a sobering question: how world of warcraft cd key much should manufacturers, and ultimately consumers, be required to pay to prevent the maiming or death of a child?Manufacturers of window blinds have offered buy wow game card several fixes that they say would reduce the hazards, but consumer advocates on the task force say they are inadequate and have wow game time card threatened to quit.“It was my understanding that we were eliminating the hazard,” said Carol Pollack-Nelson, a safety consultant and member wow game card of the task force. “Now they are talking about reducing the hazard. We don’t want reduced strangulation. We want no chance wow time card of it.”Regulators at the Consumer Product Safety Commission also rejected the industry’s proposals, and they urged manufacturers to try again. cataclysm cd key, the commission’s chairwoman, emphasized that the commission staff plans to continue negotiating with manufacturers to wow cataclysm cd key find a solution.“We are going to stay at the table,” Ms. Tenenbaum buy cataclysm cd key said, adding, “I hope everyone will stay at the table.”What makes buy wow cataclysm cd key the debate over window blinds so vexing is that a solution has been available for several decades: cordless buy wow cataclysm blinds. But cordless blinds are more buy cataclysm difficult to manufacture than corded blinds, and can cost considerably more in stores, by some world of warcraft cataclysm cd key estimates, twice as much.In an buy world of warcraft cataclysm cd key interview, Ms. Tenenbaum said cordless blinds were part of the solution. But the additional cost, she said, had prompted her to push manufacturers to find cheaper buy world of warcraft cataclysm alternatives, too, like retractable cords or cords that are covered and therefore inaccessible to children.Ralph cataclysm power leveling J. Vasami, executive director of the Window Covering Manufacturers Association, said it was unrealistic to cataclysm power level expect the industry to eliminate every possible hazard. Window blinds are not children’s products, he said, nor are they defective. His cataclysm leveling trade group urges parents of young children to install cordless shades.“The objective wow cataclysm power leveling is to minimize the hazard as much as possible,” said Mr. Vasami. “I don’t know if you have it in your wow cataclysm power level power to eliminate every hazard for every product.”Mr. Vasami argued that the wow cataclysm leveling industry’s efforts have had a positive effect, citing the fairly stable rate of strangulation deaths even as the industry has grown. He predicted cataclysm cd key that the number of deaths would inevitably decline as older products were replaced by those with more safety features. “Just wow cataclysm cd key looking at it from a statistical standpoint, there will be a lessening over time,” he said.There are more than one billion blinds in buy wow cataclysm cd key the United States. Americans buy buy cataclysm cd key new shades, on average, every seven years, Mr. Vasami said.
