How to avoid ER on Halloween

"The most common injuries on Halloween are eye injuries from sharp objects, burns from flammable costumes and injuries from collisions with motor vehicles," said Dr. Brian Hancock, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians in a press release today.

The group recommends avoiding dark colors for costumes and adding reflective tape to make your child more visible to drivers.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has more Halloween warnings, including information on safe makeup ingredients and costume contact lenses.
