Today’s Safety Tip
From the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission: Apply a Halloween mask using face paint rather than have a child wear a loose-fitting mask that may restrict breathing or obscure vision. If a mask is used, make sure it fits securely, has breathing room and has eyeholes large enough to allow full vision.
DISCLAIMER: The following incidents are preliminary in nature and are subject to change after investigation. Please note that the entries listed below do not cover every incident from overnight. The listings are subject to the judgment of staff officers’ sense of what is noteworthy.
