Before trick-or-treating, take a closer look at that costume.
Halloween costumes can be fun, colorful, but highly flammable. Here’s what every parent should know:
📄 1. Some costumes are tested as toys, not everyday clothing.
Children’s fancy-dress costumes can fall under toy or specialized product-safety requirements rather than the same standards that apply to ordinary children’s apparel. That means you shouldn’t automatically assume a costume has the same level of fire protection as everyday clothing.
🔥 2. Synthetic fabrics can burn fast.
Thin polyester and nylon fabrics can ignite quickly—and some synthetic materials can melt or drip when exposed to high heat.
👗 3. Flowing costumes create extra risk.
Billowy capes, loose sleeves, long skirts and dangling accessories can come into contact with candles, pumpkins, fireplaces or other open flames.
⚠️ 4. “Flame-resistant” doesn’t mean fireproof.
Even materials described as flame-resistant or flame-retardant can still burn or melt when exposed to an intense flame for long enough.
