We're happy to partner with the Window Covering Safety Council and our product vendors to inform consumers about these very important safety tips

As parents, we tend to focus on child-safe things like car seats and outlets, and may forget about dangling cords. We've put extensive information in our Resource Center on Child Safety, including the Window Covering Safety Council's SuperBaby videos, which will help parents focus on safety and smile at the same time.

• Don't forget window covering cords can be hazardous.
• Use window guards on all windows above the first floor. Screens aren't strong enough to stop a fall; they are meant to keep insects out, not to keep children in.
• If it's necessary to keep windows open for ventilation, install locks that limit the size of the opening.
• For sliding glass doors, install safety glass that won't shatter. Additionally, apply bright stickers at a child's eye level (and also adult eye level) to alert him or her to the presence of glass.
• Be sure to keep all furniture and cribs away from windows.
