Child Safety
Compliant with Health Canada Regulations
All of our window treatments are fully compliant with Health Canada’s Corded Window Coverings Regulations (SOR/2019-97). These regulations set strict requirements for any corded window covering sold in Canada, to prevent cord-related injuries in homes with young children.
You can read the full regulations on the Government of Canada Justice Laws website: Corded Window Covering Regulations.
Tension devices. Any cord or chain loop on a Novo Blinds product is secured by a tension device that anchors it to the wall or window frame. The tension device must be installed correctly for the product to operate safely. If a tension device ever becomes loose or detached, re-install it promptly — or contact us and we will come out and re-secure it for you.
Warning labels. Every corded product we ship includes a warning label attached to the bottom bar, as required by the regulations. Please leave these labels in place.
Cordless and motorized options. For homes with young children, we strongly recommend cordless or motorized window coverings. They remove the risk of cord entanglement entirely, and they are now standard on most of our whole-home installs. Ask about motorized roller shades, cordless cellular shades, or wand-operated horizontal blinds during your free in-home measure.
