Balloon Safety and Buying Guide

Child Safety

• Balloons are not intended for children under 3 years old. Children over 3 should be supervised when playing with balloons.
  
  
• Un-inflated and broken balloons can be a CHOKING HAZARD - Children under 8 yrs can choke or suffocate on un-inflated or broken balloons. Keep un-inflated balloons away from children. Discard broken balloons at once.
  
  
• Balloons with a ribbon can strangle a child. NEVER attach a balloon to a child's crib or bed. NEVER leave a child unsupervised when playing with a balloon.

Environmental Safety

• DO NOT release helium-filled foil balloons into the air. Metal foil balloons and metallic ribbon conduct electricity. They can become entangled in power lines and cause damage to the lines or power outages.
  
  
• DO NOT use metallic ribbon or other attachments that could conduct electricity with helium-filled latex or foil balloons.

• Keep foil balloons on the ground; ADD A WEIGHT to all helium-filled foil balloons.

• Properly anchor a balloon cluster by tying all ribbons to a weight individually. If the balloons become loose from the weight they will float away individually. DO NOT tie ribbons together before attaching to weight. Tie them to the weight with one knot.

• DO NOT use foil balloons in balloon release. Latex balloons are a 100% natural product and therefore the only type of balloon that should be used in a launch. They should be hand tied; DO NOT use a plastic valve or closure. Only use a bio-degradable cotton string; DO NOT use metallic or plastic ribbon when releasing balloons into the air. Check your local and state regulations before organizing a balloon launch.
