What a freak and tragic accident. MT thinks that the old-fashion, loop cords on blinds ought to be out-lawed in some new housing regulations, just like lead paint has to be maintained or eliminated, so should this common, but outdated, house danger.

The death of a 1-year-old Greenwich girl who became tangled in a window shade cord appears to be a tragic accident, police said yesterday.

Alerted by two 911 calls, police officers responded to a mid-country home at 3:26 p.m. Friday, according to a police press release.

It appeared as though the girl had been playing with the cord that looped around the bottom of the shade and became entangled in it, according to Sgt. Louis Pannone, one of the officers who responded to the call.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A 1-year-old girl was killed in an explosion and fire Monday night in Colorado Springs and authorities said they have enough evidence to charge the child’s mother with the death.

Police received a 911 call reporting a possible explosion in the 3200 block of Galena Court at 10:01 p.m. and the first officers to arrive pulled four children from the house: a 3-year-old girl, a 5-year-old boy, an 8-year-old boy and a 9-year-old boy.

The 3-year-old girl and 8-year-old boy were transported by ambulance to The Children’s Hospital in Aurora because weather conditions prevented a medical helicopter transfer.

The 8-year-old and 9-year-old boys were reported to be in critical condition. The 5-year-old boy was in guarded condition, according to a press release.
