The Halloween Holiday is coming up soon! We remind you to prioritize safety this Halloween when carving pumpkins, decorating, dressing up in costumes, and trick-or-treating.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has several safety tips to help children remain safe while still experiencing the fun and excitement that comes with Halloween.
- Costumes: Need to be made of flame-resistant fabric (example: polyester and nylon) and should be brightly colored or trimmed with reflective tape to make them visible to vehicles at night. Also, ensure the costume fits and avoid overly long or baggy costumes to prevent trips and falls.
- Masks: Should have eye holes large enough to allow full visibility and nose holes that allow for adequate breathing.
- Candles: Candle-lit jack-o-lanterns and other decorations should be located where children cannot brush up against the flame (try using LED lights instead).
- Treats: Use reflective tape on treat bags and check to ensure treats are individually wrapped for safety purposes. Additionally, do not give toys with small parts to children under age 3.
For more information on having a safe and fun Halloween, visit the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
Halloween can be a safe and enjoyable evening for all with some preparation, communication, and diligence. Of course, we will be on patrol and available to you and your children if you need us. As always, dial 911 in case of an emergency.
We appreciate your cooperation,
Mayor, Jennifer Hobbs
