Parents for Window Blind Safety
United States
Registrace 7. 11. 2007
In June of 2002, Matt and Linda Kaiser peeked into their twin’s bedroom before the couple turned in for the night. The Kaisers loved to watch the fraternal twins sleep with their little 4-year-old girl by their side. One summer night, they snuck into the twins room, what they found was horrific. Their little girl was hanging from the inner cord of the window blind. She was limp and cold. There was no heartbeat. After all the babyproofing the Kaiser’s did to their home, even keeping the cords out of reach of their children, these efforts did not prevent this accident. They later learned that on many window covering products, inner cords could be pulled out even if the pull cords were out of a child’s reach.
Parents for Window Blind Safety was founded a few months later in November 2002. In 2018, after years of advocacy, the Industry removed cords from stock products in the USA. In 2020, Canada published a new regulation banning hazardous cords from all window covering products.

Some children have died on window coverings because safety devices have failed. It's this easy. They can pull out of the wall without you knowing about it. Parents trust in devices to keep kids safe but what they don't know is how many times these tie-downs have failed. The best thing you can do for your kids is go cordless in your home.
Safety Tassels Are Not Safe. Go Cordless

Ever wonder why they called these "Safety Tassels"? This is one of the many reasons window blinds and shades have been involved with hundreds of deaths and injuries. #GoCordless #EvidenceBasedSafety

If you knew something could take the life of your child in less than one minute, would you have it in their bedroom? What about other places in your home? In seconds they lose consciousness and you hear nothing. Kids reach cords tied up high that's why we have been telling the public to #GoCordless for nearly 2 decades.

On a summer night in 2002, I walked into my twin's bedroom to peek at them with my husband behind me and my daughter Maddie, who was five at the time. That night changed our lives forever. We found our precious Cheyenne Rose hanging from the inner cord of a window blind. She had formed a loop from the cord that runs in between the slats of the blind. Everything was a blur. Everything was in slo...
Window Blind Study Reveals Shocking Statistics

A study reveals shocking statistics. What consumers and parents believed was rare just so happened to occur more than they believed. Instead of injuries occurring every 2 weeks, they occur twice a day! Tying up cords is not a solution. Remove and replace with safer cordless products.

Bobby D was injured when he was a young toddler by a common household product that is most likely hanging in your home right now. This can happen in a room parents think is child proofed and safe. Sometimes products claim to be safe and consumers learn by accidents that products are far from safe, even when they follow safety tips.

I lost my 2 year old on the 27/12/2023 , she drowned in my in-laws friends pool. I was 30 minutes away from picking her up. How do we go on. First day back at work today, not sure I can do it.
@@Malakipuppy I’m so sorry. It won’t always be this hard. Just know there is hope in feeling joy again later down the road of grief.
Precious baby 🙏
I have no children, I am a man, and I don't think I would have the strength to survive if one day I were to lose a child. We all know that life is unfair... I want to offer my condolences to every person who has the strength to carry on despite the greatest pain one can feel in life, I believe, of not being strong enough to do so...
just lost my 7mo first born son , my Jr. i’m so hurt by this 💔 praying for everyone that lost a child
You simply don’t leave a 15 year old in charge to parent two much younger siblings. People don’t understand that kids aren’t dolls to collect, but human being with a lot of needs, one that they need to watched very closely, when they are little.
You simply dont judge...
My 2 year old daughter died Saturday night. We view her body tomorrow. I'm losing my mind
poor guy im terribly sorry I wish god saved him it makes no sense its too bad gods grace didnt help the good people who worshipped him seems like he/it made a choice to give you this horrible pain and loss doest sound like a very nice friend
Hey, It's Matthew Cantrell. We miss you guys, we left Bethel sometime after you did. Hope all is well.
Lost my beloved sweet handsome son (26)to a hit and run on 10.23.23. The pain of losing a child is totally on a different level of grief. When Ceejay died, we couldn’t come to grips with how anything positive could come from reflecting on a life that had ended so tragically. It made us sick to think of what we had lost, what he had lost. Memories of my son weren’t comforting, far from it. Remembering was so painful we tried to avoid it. How could we possibly find solace in any memory while we were reeling from grief? , “In the end all we are left with are memories. Bits and pieces of the time we’ve spent together. No matter how long the time was, it will never seem like enough.”
I loss my 26 year old son in April 17 I feel like I failed him as a father I miss him so much seeing him with bullet holes in him fucking with me so damn much I’m crying right now and can’t sleep
If god is real...he is really cruel otherwise he is all just a fake
My heart is heavy. I lost my son and husband on May 8, 2024. A 17-year-old drunk driver hit both of them on their motorcycles. My son was 20, and my husband was 34. I have cried every day because I don't want to accept this. I'm dying inside.
Sorry for your loss I know that’s so hard on you my son was killed in April I’m numb and hurt so bad
I feel for some people who have lost children, but then there are those who take their pain out on others! I have been around too many grief sticken parents or people who have lost loved ones trying to use me or others as some sort of doormat to feel better. We all have or will lose someone we love. We were never promised forever. Selfish people try to hurt others because they are hurting We all have to leave this earth one day. The only thing that matters is where will we spend eternity? If we or our loved one are saved? Don't worry! Their names are written in the Lamb's book of life, and one day, they will step into eternity with the Heavenly Father
R.i.p....REECE VINCENT KOHSMAN...7-11-21 to 2-9-22...of those almost 7 months he spent 136 days in the hospital....DADDY LOVES YOU ALWAYS!!!
My son just passed away tonight. He was hit by a vehicle. He was 13
I lost my big brother when he was only 17 and that was in July 30th of 2022 when I was only 15
Saya kelingan putra kedua saya Terkadang saya sering menyembunyikan kesedihan saya. Karna saya tidak ingin melihat istri saya semakin sedih. Tapi jujur ini sangat berat
I lost my son. The sorrow I feel everyday is pretty unbearable. No one knows this level of grief unless you’ve gone through it. I will never be the same again.

My heart breaks for you. I will pray for your family. GriefShare has also helped me. My son passed away unexpectedly in August 2022.
Thank you, you are a lovely person, my 14 year old son is dealing with the death of his grandfather and this is helpful
I am so glad to hear that. My son was grieving his uncle here. He was so close to him. It’s so hard to see our kids go thru grief.
We lost our beautiful 11yr old daughter December 18,2023 after being diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer. Killed her two months after diagnosis. She fell at school on her knee and during an XRay discovered she had tumors all over her body and bone marrow. Her funeral was in January I have been depressed devastated and its hard to get out of bed. I miss my angel so much. And right when she started 6th grade. She had so many plans in life. Im gonna miss her for the rest of my life.
😔

Losing a child is an indescribable pain
I lost my beautiful daughter four months ago. She was about to turn 9, two weeks before her birthday, she returned to her creator. Only my faith and belief in the afterlife are providing me with the strength to carry on, as I await the day when I'll be reunited with my loved ones…
Sending love and prayers. We just lost my 6 week old grandson and my son 5 months ago. My faith is what keeps me going. Hugs 💙🕯♾🙏🏽✝️
Your daughter deserved it
My heart is broken for this mama 😢 having lost a son to leukemia, I know her pain all too well.
That's sad, but the question remains: what was hanging in the window that was so lethal?
Probably window blind cords. The designs are far safer now, but dangling, knotted, or tangled cords are a strangling hazard.
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. Your son is beautiful and you will see him again. My son almost had a similar incident when he was leaning off the edge of our reclining chair. He was being held upright by nothing more than the cord of our blinds. He was two and couldn't escape on his own.
What happened?
The cords hanging from the windows. The ones that open your blinds, they’re very dangerous for children, animals and disabled people. Once your neck is caught in it, it’s very difficult to get out of it unharmed. This is a big safety issue in any household. Not many realize it, she is hoping to bring awareness.
@@Ruca._ oh that's awful, thank you for telling me🩷
Dearest Madam, your son did not die in vane. His transition caused you to share his story. Together you will have saved many children’s lives. May God continue to provide you with every comfort. He is well acquainted with grief sacrificing his Son on the cross. Thank you for sharing his story and your loss. Perhaps write a book for new parents about safety measures. Make a scholarship in his name or ask us to donate to a charity of your choice. Your little man is not forgotten! Ask God to help you on those hard days. Offering you many deep many hugs.
Dear Lord,protect this dear lady. ❤
God bless and comfort this grieving Mom and thank you for being brave about sharing your story to maybe save someone else
Strong cord. Must be well made
I just lost my first born son on March 10th 2024. He drowned at my neighbor's pool and was in a coma for 17 years. I thank God for the 25 years he gave my son to live. After his funeral I began to feel heartbroken, lost and empty inside but I continue to pray for guidance and strength. This is the hardest thing I've ever gone through. But I know my son is at peace no more pain no more suffering. I miss you so much sleep in heaven my angel Devante.
🙏♥️🙏
My wife and i found out we were pregnant 18 weeks ago. We just found out through genetic testing that our son would have a 100% chance of having down syndrome. We've decided it would be best to terminate our pregnancy. Part of me feels as though i am not giving him a chance but we know dont have the means to care for a baby with special needs. Im so devastated, lost, and angry because there is nothing i can do to change the situation.
I lost my first born, only child prince's of a little girl, at the age of 12 1/2yrs old, 35 yrs ago, to a mystery deaseas at the time, called Lupus!!!! I was pregnant the entire time of my little girls illness, I gave birth to my second anxiously awaited next child, a son, 29 days later, after my precious first born, sweet girl passed away!!!! I was completely devastated, too inundated in complete grief, to enjoy the birth of my second child, that my little girl and I had anticipated for so long. I had a third child 14 months later, a beautiful little girl, to keep my little boy company!!!!! I wanted to die, after my little girl's passing, I did not believe I could go on with life, I left my husband at that time, a yr later, relocated to be near my mom/family. GOD sent some beautiful people across my path during those black, dark, grief strickened days, in particularly a loving older couple, who BIBLE studied with me each week, brought me to their SDA church weekly. I took baby steps, I rekindled a personal journey of faith/walk in christ, over the next 35 yrs, which I would not ever trade my love our HEAVENLY FATHER, JEHOVAH for anything in the world!!!! The two children that I had are now 34/35 with children of their own, who I love/adore just as much!!! I totally trust in our FATHER GOD, with hope/faith, I know that I will see my little girl again some day!!!!! Nonetheless, there's not a day that goes by, that I don't think about my beautiful, smart, loving little girl who would be 48 yrs old this year, who I miss dearly, tremendously, who I often still cry myself to sleep about!!!!. I have learned to live with my tragedy, you never get over loosing your child, I am blessed to have had two other kids/grandkids, whom I love dearly, however, our young people can never replace one another, they are all different Gems/Jewels, totally irreplaceable!!!!!! We half to walk in CHRIST, place our faith/cares, worries in our HEAVENLY FATHER'S HANDS!!!! GOD Bless this young man, his family in their time of grief, all other grieving families, who have ever suffered, the lost of a child!!!!!!!
When my mom died I cried more than I ever cried than before

Today marked exactly one month without my 13 months old handsome son 😭😭😭😭
I’m so sorry for your loss of your beloved ❤
This was very beautiful and moving- thank you. I wrote the following short poem last year; I hope you like it. 'Poem on the Death of a Young Person': 'The circumstances of a death/ however young/ should never DEFINE the life/ now gone./ I bet they had an / absolute BLAST for the/ brief time they were here: laughed/ loved/ were loved;/ and isn't that the/ very definition of a / life well lived?'❤ Kevin Whelan, Moycullen H91 EN1K, Co.Galway, Ireland
In April of 2023, Rojo's Mexican 5 layer dip, which contained sour cream, shredded yellow cheese, guacamole, salsa, & black beans, had a chunk of light, purple, colored rubber such as like a light colored purple rubber glove. Michigan🤫 based Walmart stores in the thumb area failed to report this just last spring. 🙄The inner top of the bowls they sell it in doesn't have a seal on top of the contents, just an outer strip of plastic tape on the outside of the cover on the outer side.🤢 The contents 😑 dried out, often times looks cracked, 😬& is as if it were inverted on it's side and that the liquid seeped from the packaging😣. The piece of light purple colored rubber appeared bigger, & thicker than a rubber glove, but I'm not sure I tried to send a photo of the substance but I don't think you got that, & I no longer have it, or the phone that this image was on. I just hope🤔 someone else can help get this word out.🙏🤯🙈🙉🙊. I fear someone could choke, and get 😫 sick.😮 I live in a rural community along the Saginaw bay, and my internet service isn't very good 😕.
I lost my daughter and this helped me soo much I hated my partner for a long time and I lost her as a reality, because of anger but I regret what I did and I am trying to cope, Just the same as you were! what you said in this video helped me a lot and I respect you more than you know to be so strong I don’t think I’m at the same point but you saying what you said made me accept it a little more Than I ever can. Sorry for your loss
