Halloween ghosts and goblins may be scary, but the thought of trick-or-treaters getting injured is even more frightening. According to the Dunkin Donuts Halloween Safety Survey, two out of three children will be trick-or-treating this year, and parents are more concerned about their safety doing that than they are about riding a bike or swimming in a pool. As part of the second annual "Mind your Munchkins" Halloween Safety Program, Dunkin� Donuts and the Consumer Product Safety Commission reminds parents to make sure their kids� costumes are safe. Hal Stratton, Chairman of the C-P-S-C:

"Costumes should be made of flame resistant fabric and fit well enough so there�s no danger of tripping. If using a mask, make sure the eyeholes are large enough to allow full visibility, or an alternative to face masks is non-toxic face paint."
