Notes
No window covering rule is on CPSC's certificate lists. Stock window coverings that fail ANSI/WCMA A100.1-2018 cord requirements, and custom ones that fail its inner cord and label requirements, are deemed substantial product hazards (16 CFR 1120.3(e), (f)). The custom window covering cord rule (16 CFR 1260) was vacated by the D.C. Circuit in Sept 2023, though its text is still in the eCFR.
