Halloween Tips and “Tricks” By Linda DeRose-Droubay, Director of Product Safety and Quality Compliance, HearthSong Halloween is one of the most enjoyable holidays for adults and children alike. It is also a time for making sure our kids are safe—in their costumes, on the street, and while enjoying all the treats collected on their rounds. And let’s not forget about making sure Mom and Dad have fun with their children on this spooky night! The following tips will help ensure your trickor-treaters enjoy haunting their neighborhoods while gathering their munchings and crunchings! Pumpkin Carving • Never let young children near carving tools. Non-toxic paint, stickers, and push-in lights are safe decorating alternatives. Or let your child draw the face on the pumpkin; you do the carving. • When permitting older children to carve, always supervise closely. Work on a flat, tip-proof surface in a well-lit room. • Don’t let your child use adult kitchen knives-supply safer, kid-size tools created specifically for this purpose. • Consider using battery operated candles, tea lights or flashlights to illuminate your decorative accents instead of candles. Treats • Make sure your children understand they’re not to snack on their treats while they’re out trick-or-treating. • Parents should inspect the goodies (even commercially wrapped) for any signs of tampering, such as an unusual appearance, discoloration, pinholes or tears in wrappers. Throw away anything that looks suspicious. • For young children, remove hard candies as they can become choking hazards; even larger varieties; remember larger varieties will shrink as they are mouthed. • Other choking hazards for younger children include gum, nuts, small toys, and coins. • If juice or cider is served to children at Halloween parties, make sure it is pasteurized or otherwise treated to destroy harmful bacteria. Juice or cider that has not been treated will state it on the label. Costumes • When purchasing costumes and accessories, look for “Flame Resistant” labels. Although this label does not mean these items won’t catch fire, it does indicate that the items will resist burning and should extinguish quickly once removed from the ignition source. • Purchase or make costumes that are light and bright enough to be clearly visible to motorists. • For greater visibility during dusk and Harley Davidson Winner Announced Paul L. Judd Choosing Safe Houses and Safety in your Home: • Children should go only to homes where they know the residents. • Choose homes which have outside lights on as a sign of welcome. • Homes should be well lit inside as well as out. • Children should not enter homes or apartments unless they are accompanied by an adult. • If you are expecting trick-or-treaters remove anything that could be an obstacle from lawns, steps and porches. • Candlelit Jack-o’-lanterns should be kept away from landings and doorsteps where costumes could brush against the flame. • Indoor Jack-o’-lanterns should be kept away from curtains, decorations, and other furnishings that could be ignited. • Consider using battery operated candles, tea lights, or flashlights to illuminate your decorative accents instead of candles.
