About bloody time. Lost count of how many near misses I've seen with these things.

8 kids dead and it takes 17 years to do something? Ffs.

Tom Harris2026-06-30T06:38:57.000Z

mate, personal responsibility. Blaming the cord is weak.

What a load of shit, more nanny state crap. Parents need to watch their kids.

Wait till they see the cost, gonna be another tax on homeowners.

lol 'common sense' from the guy who probably left his kid alone with one.

What's the rule? Cord cleats? Breakaway tassels? Just say it.
