<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Swords, knives, and other costume accessories should be short, soft, and flexible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Fasten reflective tape to costumes and bags to help drivers see you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. Limit the amount of treats you eat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Hold a flashlight while trick-or-treating to help you see and others see you. WALK and don’t run from house to house.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Always test make-up in a small area first. Remove it before bedtime to prevent possible skin and eye irritation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Look both ways before crossing the street. Use crosswalks wherever possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Lower your risk for serious eye injury by not wearing decorative contact lenses.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Only walk on sidewalks whenever possible, or on the far edge of the road facing traffic to stay safe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Wear well-fitting masks, costumes, and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, and falls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Eat only factory-wrapped treats. Avoid eating homemade treats made by strangers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Enter homes only if you’re with a trusted adult. Only visit well-lit houses. Never accept rides from strangers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

\u00a0Never walk near lit candles or luminaries. Be sure to wear flame-resistant costumes.<\/p>\n
