Halloween Safety Tips

With witches, goblins and superheroes soon to descend on neighborhoods across America, the American Red Cross offers some safety tips to help children have a safe and enjoyable trick-or- treat holiday.

Halloween should be filled with surprise and wonderment, and following some common sense practices can make events safe and fun.

  • Walk on sidewalks, not in the street
  • Look both ways before crossing the street
  • Cross the street only at corners
  • Don't hide between or cross the street between parked cars
  • Wear light colored or reflective-type clothing so you are more visible
  • Plan your route and share it with your family. If possible, have an adult go with you
  • Carry a flashlight to light your way
  • Keep away from open fires and candles: Costumes can be extremely flammable
  • Visit homes that have porch lights on
  • Accept your treats at the door and never go into a stranger's house
  • Use face paint rather than masks that will impair your vision
  • Be cautious of animals and strangers
  • Have a grown-up inspect your treats before you eat them
  • Don't eat candy if the package is already opened
  • Remember, small, hard pieces of candy are a choking hazard for young children
