Warning:
Cords can be hazardous, even fatal, to young children. Keep cords out of reach of children. Keep cribs, playpens, and other furniture away from cords. Do not tie cords together or allow cords to twist or loop together.

Note:
If glue is used to secure dowels to fabric be sure to test the glue on the fabric to check for bleed-through.
