They were available in five colors between the sizes of 22 to 73 inches wide and 64 to 72 inches high. Sold from June 2023 through June 2025 on Amazon, the impacted items cost between $40 and $124. Each product has 'X003FFPT63' printed on barcode labels. The products also violate a federal rule for window coverings and violated labeling requirements.

This has ALWAYS been an issue. Doesn't everyone on the planet know this? Just a few weeks ago I cut all the blind cords on my grand kids window blinds in their house. DUH,,,,,

I never tried to stick my head through those things but did get a hand/finger stuck as a little kid. I figured it out. Though, I get it.

You would be surprised how many kids are killed or injured by those cords. Up playing on the bed next to the window, cord gets around the neck and they fall off the bed or some freaky shit. Even when I am working on peoples houses I tell them about it and cut their cords. I've never had anyone object.

Yo-Yo's kill a lot of kids every year because they end up getting it around their neck and it just keeps getting tighter. I probably nearly died hundreds of times as a kid x.x I am not dumb but I am curious.

We get those "lift blinds" and have the stick to open/close them. They seem to be less likely to cause those problems. Don't have kids, want them though.

I cut them in my last apartment and I only have cats. It's mind boggling.

fears of blinds strangling children

Interesting verbiage - I was unaware blinds had that level of autonomy.

I bet you think Criminals kill people and Guns don't kill people too. /s

If someone isn't smart enough to tie up such cords so that small kids can't harm themselves with it, then I am sad to say, those kids might be better off NOT having to grow up with such shitty parents.

Daily Mail is a cancer. Everything will kill you. Every headline says this. Fuck I hate that site. But they do seem to aggregate so much news.
