On the news today, big recall for roman and rollup blinds, because children get their necks caught in the cords. This has got to cost the manufacturers and retailers gazillions of dollars, and no one will be able to buy them any more. Stuff like this royally pisses me off.
Hey, folks, you don't put the baby's crib right next to the cords! You loop up cords everywhere in the house. You take the blinds down for a few years if you have to. You babyproof. You watch the kid when they're wandering, and if you let them wander alone in a fully babyproofed house, you put bells on their shoes, and check when the bells go quiet.
If you're incapable of that, you shouldn't be breeding anyway. And if your child was injured, take some personal responsibility!
Next thing you know, somebody's going to insist that all electrical outlets must be five feet above the floor. Oh, no, maybe not - there's no clear defendant to sue for that....

I have shades on just about all of my windows. My solution? Cut the cords apart. Duh.
Blind cords are just another sabre-tooth tiger. There are not enough sabre-tooth tigers in the world...
