CHILD SAFETY LAW IN VIC / S.A EFFECTIVE 31.12.08
January 16 2009 |
January 15, 2009 12:00am
CURTAINS and blinds with looped cords have been banned in Victoria after a series of toddler strangulations.
Acting Consumer Affairs Minister Bob Cameron said yesterday the sale of curtains and blinds with loops would be restricted after the accidental strangulation of a 13-month-old SA toddler.
"Even common household items can be a safety risk, especially for babies and small children," he said.
"Blind cords can kill or seriously injure quickly, and we advise parents to keep cords out of reach of children and to make sure there are no loops hanging down."
At least 12 Australian children have been strangled by blind or curtain cords since 1991.
Drapes with loop cords are now subject to strict safety standards, must have safety devices attached, and must be at least 1.6m from the floor.
Safety devices include an enclosed cord-tensioning wheel or a cleat for fastening the cord against the wall.
Deputy South Australian Coroner Anthony Schapel investigated the strangulation death of a 13-month-old boy who became entangled in a curtain cord near his cot.
He found the death was an accident, but his findings have led to a ban in both SA and Victoria.
Victorian Consumer Affairs Director Dr Claire Noone warned parents about the dangers of the blinds and curtains and recommended that loops be cut.
"Curtain cords are recognised as a safety risk, as they can form a loop and get tangled around the child's neck," Dr Noone said.
"It is also vital traders, manufacturers and distributors provide proper information and warnings to families about the dangers curtains and blinds can have for children."

Soft Light fills a gap in the market for a quality, affordable light filtering fabric. The fabric is 250cm wide and is suitable for Roller and Panel blinds
Soft Shade is a light weight blockout with coloured back coating so when viewed from the outside the light filtering and blockout fabrics are the same colour. The fabric is 250cm wide and is suitable for Roller, Roman and Panel Blinds.

AUGUST NEWSLETTER 2008
August 05 2008 |
There has been some confusion to the allowances that should be taken from reveal measurements for Chain Driven Roller Blinds resulting in many different variations in allowances.
Effective as of the 1st September, 2008 the measurement that you order for Chain Driven Roller Blinds will be outside of bracket to outside of bracket.
Due to various thicknesses of cutting blades etc we have a tolerance of 2mm either way on this measurement.
This means if you order a blind at 1000mm in width, you will receive a blind that measures between 998mm and 1002mm in width outside of bracket to outside of bracket.
Our advise is that you should make a deduction of 4mm from tight reveal measurements on all Rollers ordered from 1st September, 2008.
Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
