Note: Some Important Information on Child Safety
Children are curious about the world around them, so even basic
household items including window coverings can turn into potential
hazards for them. Making our window blinds safe for homes with
infants or young children is a top priority at Luxaflex®.
We have developed a wide range of window covering products to
help reduce the risk of accidents. From cordless blinds to motorized
operation we are continuingly developing new products that are
designed with safety in mind.
Luxaflex® is committed to adhering to the European EN 13120
standard (Internal Blinds Performance Requirements incl. safety) as
a minimum safety requirement. Read more about the many safety

General Advice:
Buyers and users of blinds should be aware of the hazards that can be
posed by unrestrained cords, braids, loop chains and wires, which may
be hazardous to young children.
The following guidelines should always be considered.
• Young children can be strangled by loops in pull cords,
chains, tapes and inner cords that operate the product. They
can also wrap cords around their necks.
• To avoid strangulation and entanglement, keep cords out of
reach of young children.
• Move beds, cots and furniture away from window covering
cords.
• Do not tie cords together
• Make sure cords do not twist and create a loop.
• Install and use safety devices according to the installation
instructions on these devices to reduce the possibility an
accident.
