Drapes, Shades and Blinds. &nbsp;What it does mean that many dealers will only be selling cordless options, and it will be harder and harder to find corded options. &nbsp;However these corded option are not illegal (except for ready made blinds and corded mini blinds), but will be added to the CPSC&#8217;s potential hazerdous product listing.
