More than 300 kids have been killed and almost that many seriously injured when they've gotten tangled up in blind cords, the Post reports.

Those thin cords are sharp and quick on little necks."
Blinds don't have to have cords. But the industry has been reluctant to change and government regulators haven't forced the issue.
