Did You Know....Window blind regulations in the United States require that all window covering products sold in the country must be cordless or have inaccessible cords or approved tensioning devices by June 1, 2024. This safety standard is set by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Window Covering Manufacturers Association.

Existing blinds are grandfathered in, and vendors are still allowed to repair them.
