AmericaWindow covering cord hazard proposal: comment by November 23
CPSC proposes adding specified window-covering cord characteristics to its substantial-product-hazard list. The notice lists November 23, 2026 for written comments. Its scope includes particular custom cord systems and stock or custom roll-up shades; it is not a blanket statement that every blind is covered.

Keep this boundary in view
CPSC distinguishes public electronic comments from confidential written submissions. Follow its separate confidential instructions. This guide does not determine whether a product is safe or legally compliant.
A dated, selected snapshot, not an exhaustive live list. Deadlines can be extended, reopened, or close at a specified time. Always confirm the current official notice.
