Window blinds and curtain tassels can pose a strangulation hazard to your children. You need to make sure window blinds and curtain cords are tied up out of reach of your children, by using something as simple as a blind cord cleat. It's a dollar and can be installed right next to your curtain, and is very quick and simple and something that you can do yourself.
