'I thought it was safe': Blind cord warning after toddler's tragic death

A coroner has issued a fresh warning about the dangers of window blind cords after hearing harrowing details about the death of a toddler in a freak accident.

Cork City Coroner Philip Comyn has also urged parents to consult the National Standards Authority of Ireland website for guidelines on blind cord safety after the inquest this morning in relation to the death of little Leah Troy, aged 13-months, at the family's new home at Delaney Park in Dublin Hill on the northside of Cork city last September.
