Full Notification

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than twice as many children are injured in pedestrian accidents on Halloween than other days throughout the year. If you have young children who will be celebrating Halloween with trick or treating this year, please consider the following safety tips:

• Choose brightly colored costumes or add

   reflective tape to increase visibility.

• Ditch the masks. They make it harder to cross

   streets safely. Instead, opt for face paint.

• Choose flame resistant costumes. If buying a

   costume, check for a “flame resistant”

   notification on the label.

• Glow sticks or flashlights are another way to

   increase the visibility of your children.

• Avoid pointy swords and sticks. Instead use

   cardboard and tape to make bendable props

   and accessories.
