TIL miniblinds with pull cords to raise and lower them are now illegal to sell in the United States - eviltoast

Replacing a broken set of blinds in my house and apparently no one sells the old standard kind where you pull the cord to raise them, I guess because kids and/or pets could tangle in the cord? Bit of an education in miniblinds today.

    I know a family whose baby hung themselves on the cord. Must be common enough that they just banned them.
