Halloween safety
From Safe Kids Worldwide:
- Go with children younger than 12. Older children who go out alone should stick to familiar, well-lit areas and stay in groups.
- Walk on sidewalks or paths. Where there is no sidewalk, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible.
- Cross at corners, using signals and crosswalks, and never between parked cars.
- Put reflective tape or stickers on costumes and bags, and carry glow sticks or a flashlight.
- Choose face paint over masks, which can block a child’s vision, and costumes that fit so they do not trip.
From the Food and Drug Administration:
- Feed children before they go, and have them wait to eat any candy until you have checked it at home.
- Throw away anything that is not commercially wrapped, or that shows pinholes, tears or discoloration.
- For a child with a food allergy, read every label and skip home-baked treats.
What this means for you
