October is National Window Cord Safety Month—Kids and Cords Don’t Mix!

The Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) are urging parents and caregivers during October to check their window coverings for exposed or dangling cords that can pose a strangulation hazard to infants and young children, and to retrofit or replace them with today’s safer products.  These organizations recommend that only cordless window coverings, or those with inaccessible cords be used in homes with young children. 

For more information, here’s a link to the Consumer Product Safety Commission “Kids and Cords Don’t Mix” page:

Center Stage has many cordless options for cellular, roller, and sheer shades, wood blinds, and roman shades, including MOTORIZED control, and my vendors are offering significant sales in October and through the 4th quarter for cordless products. 

​You will be amazed at all the new products out there and the low prices for motorization.  It’s now mainstream, just like most consumer electronics.  And you can even recharge the batteries with a USB connector, which need to be done only about once a year, …how cool is that?  ​

​Call Barbara to get more info on all the promotions!  Imagine the convenience of motorization and the peace of mind for your kids’ safety too.
