Halloween is supposed to be scary with ghosts, goblins and witches not so much with your child or yourself becoming injured and visiting the emergency room. In order to be sure you and your children have a safe night below are a few costume safety tips to ensure just that.
• Examine masks to be sure they do not block vision.
• Do NOT use decorative contact lenses; eye infections may result.
• Avoid costumes that are billowy or baggy that could potentially brush against lit jack-o-lanterns.
• Check labels to be sure costumes are flame resistant.
• Avoid accessories that have sharp edges such as swords or canes.
• Make sure costumes are not to big in order to avoid tripping.
• Much of the Halloween makeup is not FDA approved and could cause allergic reactions so read packages carefully.
