About PFWBS

Parents for Window Blind Safety, a national 501 C (3) non-profit organization, was founded in 2002 by Matt and Linda Kaiser.

PFWBS has been featured in the New York Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Consumer Reports Magazine, Parents Magazine, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and other publications throughout the United States.

What We Do

PFWBS was created to support parents whose children have been seriously injured or killed by dangerous cords, to educate consumers about the dangers of accessible window covering cords in homes, daycare facilities, and military housing, to help create safer standards in the industry, to encourage industry to innovate safer products, and to test window coverings products for safety.

Grief Support

The loss of a child is an especially devastating pain – it’s not the natural order of life. It can squeeze your heart and make it hard to breathe, and even harder to find the will to live.

Safety Testing

Parents for Window Blind Safety is the only unbiased non-profit organization that tests and approves window coverings to reduce child strangulation hazards.
