Home Decorations


Safety First!
  • Keep lighters and matches out of reach of children.
  • Trimmings and candles that look or smell like food or candy should be kept away from children.
  • These products are attractive to children and may cause choking if they try to eat them.

Candles
  • Do not leave burning candles unattended.
  • Use sturdy candle holders that won't easily tip over.
  • Keep burning candles out of the reach of children, and away from pets, trees, decorations and wrapping paper.

Holiday Lights
  • Use only lights that are certified by a recognized organization (CSA, ULC or cUL) to decorate your home.Use indoor lights for inside the home and outdoor lights for outside the home.
  • Check all light bulbs before use. Replace broken or burnt out light bulbs with those recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Check light strings and extension cords. Discard any that are frayed or have exposed wires, loose connections, or broken light sockets.
  • Never run electrical cords through doorways or under carpets.
  • Do not overload electrical outlets. Use more than one outlet if the wattage of your lights is more than the outlet can handle.
  • Keep bubbling light bulbs away from children. They contain a hazardous chemical which may cause irritation or chemical burns if the bulb breaks and the chemical is released.
  • Turn off all holiday lights before you go to bed or leave your home.
