Safety tips for Halloween

UNSAFE:

• The costume is made of cotton - NOT flame resistant.

• The large mask covers our trick-or-treater's whole face, obscuring his vision.

• The outfit is way too long. He is clearly in danger of tripping.

• He's already started munching on some of his goodies.

SAFE:

• The costume is flame resistant.

• The costume is covered in bright reflective tape to make the princess more visible.

• She's wearing a crown that doesn't obscure her vision.

• Our princess is carrying a flashlight.

• She's waiting until she gets home before eating any candy. All of her candy is commercially wrapped and will be inspected by Mom and Dad.
