  1. No its the parents fault! It has been said over and over again for years to be diligent with these cords! Seems parents have gotten lazy with thier responsibility!

  2. I take is Comcast is getting some $$$ from NON-corded blind manufacturers….buy meh, that's probably just a "conspiracy theory" right?

  3. Don't πŸ‘‹ put πŸ‘‹ a baby's πŸ‘‹ crib πŸ‘‹ at πŸ‘‹ a window! Cordless blinds are crap. I want my corded blinds back. The cordless blinds are too difficult to control, especially for senior citizens, like me.

  4. This isn’t new news. This stuff has been on the news for over 20 years.

  5. It actually got banned in Canada since last year.

  6. 50 years ago they had to add "coloring" to glass cleaner because the helmet wearers would drink it. Once again you have the leftists cry "big bad corporations" because they lack the ability to educate their children. Why do you thing we have warnings on almost every product.

  7. Slow news day? What's the next headline "sticking finger in electric outlet dangerous"?
