The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is out of control (and other agencies).
I’ve been on the hunt for a corded roll up blind for the side of my house and discovered they essentially mandated all blinds be ‘cordless’ because a handful of children were choking on them every year. At 15 feet off the ground, I MUST have a corded blind, or fork out for something electric (or fab it).
I’m shocked that homes still have bathtubs in the current environment, let alone that kiddie pools are still legal. /s
” discovered they essentially mandated all blinds be ‘cordless’ because a handful of children were choking “
IIRC, we found that out about 25 years ago.
They’re going to make peanut butter illegal soon, I expect.
This site says you can custom order corded blinds...
