A safe and scary Halloween

(WTNH) - If you're getting ready to send your little ghosts and gobblins out trick-or treating this Halloween you'll want to think safety.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission offers these suggestions for a safe Halloween:

• When looking at costumes check to see they are flame resistant.
• Get bright costumes for motorists to see.
• For greater visibility decorate or trim costumes with reflective tape.
• Carry a flashlight.
• Young children should always walk with an adult or older child.
• Advise children not to eat any treats before an adult looks over the candy.
