The new safety standard ensures that a vast majority of window covering products sold in the United States and Canada will be cordless or have inaccessible or short cords. The updated standard requires that all stock products (items mostly sold in retail stores and online) manufactured for sale in the United States—which account for more than 80 percent of all window covering products sold in the U.S. and Canada — to be cordless or have inaccessible cords. This approach is supported by a review of the hazard data that shows that a vast majority of incidents related to corded window coverings identified by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) take place on stock products.
