You may order online by completing the form below, or you may phone your order to the Window Covering Safety Council’s toll-free number at 1-800-506-4636.

Note: Retailers and representatives of multi-user housing complexes should contact their window covering suppliers directly for retro fit kits.

Kay, it said it had timed out? I Googled it and got this link. You can get the kit from the sidebar there.

Even if you don't have small kids of your own, you could have them as visitors. Better safe than sorry. Thanks both of you. :)

You need eyes in the back of your head when you have toddlers around. That's great! Thank you. :)

That was what happened to Mike Tyson's daughter, wasn't it? She got tangled up in some cord on a treadmill. Tragedy can strike so fast. Thanks Kay!


When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a rose with the other.

This is the kind of thing I have nightmares about. I'm so paranoid when there's small kids in the house that they will hurt themselves that I can't sit still in case they fall and bang their head on the coffee table or slip on the linoleum or something. And why do we worry more about everyone else's kids hurting themselves in our house than we do our own? LOL.

I know! If my own get the odd scratch or bruise from playing, I don't think about it much. Ask me to watch another child and I hardly let them breathe. This is a great freebie!

I'd much rather be extra safe than regret not doing something to prevent an accident when I could have! Thank you for that Kay. I got some for my sister too.
