Toddler Dies After Getting Tangled In A Cord — Don’t Let This Happen In Your Home

Homes can be full of hidden dangers for children, especially when they’re very young.

That’s why we encourage parents to baby-proof their homes and take other precautions. Little ones are just so fragile that it’s not worth the risk. There are still safety precautions that slip through the cracks, however. One of these hidden hazards is the use of mini blinds, and more specifically, the cords that hang from them.
