An industry expert says it's not practical to regulate blind cords. A coroner's released a report on the death of three-year-old Tilly Cambie in 2023, after a cord tangled around her neck. She's one of several children to die that way since 2009. They recommend mandatory blind standards - which the Government's ruled out. Window Treatments chief executive Graeme Rose says blanket regulations wouldn't suit every household. "You can imagine someone installing a blind in a kitchen window with a bench in front of it, and an elderly person trying to operate that blind from an angle having a very short cord."
