It has come to light that a two year old girl has died after getting entangled in a window blind cord during a game of hide and seek with her older brother. Her mother found her behind a curtain in their home in Sunderland – www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/sophie-allen-death-mums-agony-3470110.
Please can you all continue to raise awareness of the dangers surrounding looped cords to help prevent these tragic accidents from happening. RoSPA have a lot of information on their website http://www.rospa.com/about/currentcampaigns/blindcords/ and please also have a look at the revised Make it Safe leaflet on blind cord safety
