  • Make sure to examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them.
  • Wear costumes that fit properly and don't cover kids' eyes.
  • Plan healthy treats. Instead of candy, offer safe nonfood treats or healthy snacks. Limit the amount of treats you eat.
  • Always trick-or-treat in groups or with a trusted adult. Never trick-or-treat alone.
  • Ensure safety on the street. Mark treat bags and costumes with reflective tape, and have children carry a flashlight so drivers can see them.
  • Keep porches and walkways clear of candles and other obstacles. Always WALK and don't run.
