👻 Super Scary Halloween Treat Choking Hazards 👻

At Mini First Aid, we love Halloween as much as you do, but some Halloween treats like hard candy lollipops, popcorn, nuts and marshmallows are all choking risks and not recommended for toddlers and small children.

Hard lollipops and boiled sweets are a popular trick or treat gift but they can easily become detached from their stick and lodge in a child’s throat.

Nuts like peanuts/monkey nuts which are popular at Halloween are hard for small children to bite into and chew, and Popcorn with its sharp edges and kernel flakes can also be a choking hazard.

Marshmallows are sticky and hard for small children to safely chew. They can stick in a child’s windpipe and restrict their airway.

There is the added risk of your child eating these while running around, having fun trick or treating in the dark, not concentrating on chewing or eating, and you not noticing that they might be choking.

Stay safe this Halloween and keep sweet treats like this away from your small children and toddlers.

And have lots of spooky fun! 👻 🎃

No-one wants to be the ‘fun-police’ at Halloween but some Halloween costumes, including wigs and masks, can be highly flammable and are not always subject to the same fire safety checks as normal clothing as they can often be classed as toys.


Halloween is a time where lots of lit candles in pumpkins are on the doorsteps that trick-or-treaters visit and congregate on.


Excited children gathering for sweets are not looking at where their costumes are trailing or candles that they might be standing too close to.


Tips:


🎃 Be careful if buying from cheaper unknown brands online


🎃 Look for the UKCA or CE mark, if you’re in England, Scotland or Wales; if you’re in North Ireland, look for the UKNI symbol along with the UKCA or CE mark.


🎃 Look for the En71-2 mark. All costumes, including wigs and masks, should also be flame-retardant in accordance with EN71-2 (the safety standard for flammability of toys).


🎃 Look for labelling that indicates the costume’s undergone additional British Retail Consortium (BRC) checks. This will mean the costume is likely to have been made to a higher standard of fire safety.


🎃 Use battery operated lights instead of candles


🎃 Be vigilant when out trick or treating or at Halloween parties 🕯️

One day, you could be called upon to save a life…would you know what to do?

We’re supporting the Resuscitation Council UK with their annual Restart A Heart campaign.

Mini First Aid teach hundreds of parents, carers, children and workers how to carry out CPR on all ages.

You never know when someone you love might need help, or when you might be the closest bystander in an emergency. Survival rates from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest remain love in the UK, with fewer than one in ten people surviving.

Everyone has it in them to save a life. Do something incredible today and book a first aid class! 💚

If someone suddenly collapses, knowing the right steps and having the confidence to act could save their life.

By learning CPR, you’ll have the power to make a real difference when every second counts.
