Child Safety
Welcome to Hestia Blinds, where your family's safety is our top priority. Our products are designed with the safety of your children in mind, making us a trusted choice for families everywhere.
Why Corded Blinds Are Dangerous
Corded window coverings can pose unexpected hazards to children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission calls corded window coverings one of the top hidden hazards in American homes, with infants and children accidentally becoming entangled in window blind cords. According to CPSC data, there have been over 200 incidents involving children up to 8 years old due to strangulation hazards from window covering cords. At Hestia Blinds, we believe one incident is too many, which is why we have dedicated ourselves to creating safer solutions for windows. In response to new safety regulations, we have substituted all corded window coverings with cordless or motorized ones.
Our Safety Features
At Hestia Blinds, we prioritize the development of products that incorporate the latest safety technologies to protect your family. Our range of window blinds includes several key safety features designed to eliminate potential strangulation hazards:
- Cordless Operation: Our blinds are available with the cordless system, ensuring there are no hanging cords that could pose a risk to children. Cordless blinds can be operated with just a gentle push or pull, making them not only safe but also incredibly user-friendly.
- Motorized Controls: For more safety and convenience, our motorized window treatments are your superior choices. Controlled by a remote or button, these blinds eliminate the need for any manual handling, and potential hazards posed by electric wires.
- Design for Cordless: Some types of window coverings, for example, Cellular Shades, Drapes and Shutters, are initially designed without cords to lift. Besides, they are multi-functional in many aspects, which are your high-quality choices.

Safety Tips for Parents
Ensuring the safety of window blinds in your home goes beyond choosing the right product. Here are some vital tips to help you maintain a safe environment:
- Proper Installation: Ensure that all window coverings are installed correctly and securely to prevent them from becoming loose or falling. If in doubt, seek professional installation.
- Regular Inspections: Check window coverings regularly for signs of wear and tear or any potential hazards, such as exposed cord or loose tassels, and address these issues immediately.
- Educate Your Family: Teach children about the dangers associated with window cords and ensure they understand not to play with or near window coverings.
Keep Furniture Away: Arrange your home so that furniture pieces children might climb on are kept away from windows with blinds. This reduces the temptation for little ones to reach for cords.
