While there was much celebrating and holiday shopping during the holiday season, many news outlets featured the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital study regarding blind cords. In a report published December 11, 2017, the center revealed that, between 1990 and 2015, hospital emergency rooms treated nearly 17,000 children under the age of six for window blind cord related injuries.
The figures average two injuries each day. And, while most children were treated and released, 271 children died - about one each month. Accidental strangulation from cord entanglement caused most of the deaths. Even when the cords were tied to a stationary object, deaths still occurred. The majority of deaths took place when children were supposedly sleeping or napping. And, most of the injured children were toddlers, who naturally think it’s fun to play with the cord.
