Injury Prevention
 
  Chose costumes made of flame-resistant fabrics. Select soft, flexible props.  
  Swards, canes or sticks should not be sharp or too long.  
  Masks should not impair vision. 
  Parents should accompany children walking door to door and ensure that trick-or treating is confined to familiar areas and stick to sidewalks.  
  When trick-or-treaters arrive home, check their candy. Discard spoiled, unwrapped or suspicious items.
