"  Halloween is a lot of fun for both kids and adults but there are certain things to keep in mind to make sure it&amp;#039;s safe holiday as well.  Avoid buying a costume that failed GHRI&amp;#039;s flammability tests and be sure to keep your children away from candles and lit jack-o-lanterns while they&amp;#039;re trick-or-treating. Inspect the candy your children collect before letting them eat it and only allow them to eat pieces that are individually wrapped. If you&amp;#039;re going trick-or-treating at night, put reflective tape on your children&amp;#039;s costumes so cars can see them. Unless you&amp;#039;re trick or treating at a trusted friend&amp;#039;s house, don&amp;#039;t go inside. Remind children that even if the sidewalks are crowded they need to stay on them and not walk in the street.  Be sure to check out Good Housekeeping other stories about keeping your kids safe: Pool safety legislation, Kid Friendly backpacks with wheels and Kid Safe Chemical Act at the Crossroads from The Daily Green. And if you&amp;#039;re going to be in the NYC area, be sure to come and take a tour of the GHRI labs! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
