Get into Halloween spirit safely
With ghoulish costumes, sweet treats galore and frightfully fun decorations, Halloween has
become increasingly popular in Australia over the last decade.
So if you’re planning some Halloween fun with your family on 31 October, there are some things
you can do to prevent it turning into Halloween hell.
If you want to add some extra ghoul to your family’s costumes with fake tattoos, face paint,
makeup or fake blood, check they come with ingredients labels and keep them handy throughout
the night. In case someone in your group has an allergic reaction to a product, having a list of
ingredients available can save doctors vital time when determining how to treat them.
Wearing black or other dark coloured costumes for Halloween means you or your children could
be hard to see in the dark. To ensure drivers and other trick-or-treaters can see you, carry a torch
and consider adding glow sticks or a reflective strip to your costumes.
It goes without saying that people would want their costumes to have a low risk of catching fire,
especially with jack-o-lanterns out in full force. The best way to ensure costumes, wigs and other
accessories are a low fire risk is to look for labels that state the product is ‘flame resistant’ or ‘fire
resistant’.
Avoid products that carry warnings such as ‘keep away from flame’ or ‘Warning! Keep away from
fire’. Also avoid loose fitting costumes, particularly if you or your children will be around candles.
When buying light up or musical Halloween novelties that are powered by button batteries, you
should check the battery compartment is secured with a screw or similar fastener to prevent
children gaining access to the battery.
The statistics on button batteries aren’t pretty, with one child a month sustaining a serious injury
from swallowing or inserting button batteries. Products that comply with mandatory standards
designed to keep children safe will have secure battery compartments and safety labelling.
More information, including a list of product recalls, is available online at
www.productsafety.gov.au.

Tips to buy a used car privately
If you’re gearing up to buy a used car, you might be thinking about whether to go through a private seller rather than a licensed dealership.
While buying a vehicle privately can be cheaper, it also offers less security, so it’s important to know what steps to take to avoid ending up with a lemon or being scammed out of your money altogether.
Consumer Protection has published a new video covering the various things to bear in mind, including how vehicles purchased through private sellers are not covered by a statutory warranty, meaning it’s a good idea to have it inspected at your own cost prior to purchase.
Depending on the age of the vehicle, you may also be entitled to any remaining period of the manufacturer’s warranty, or any extended warranty that was purchased with the vehicle. Be sure to confirm whether any warranty remains and, if so, arrange with the seller to have it transferred where possible.
Although the Australian Consumer Law provides guarantees as to clear title, undisturbed possession and undisclosed securities, you should still carry out a search of the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) to ensure that the vehicle is not stolen, does not have money owing on it or is not a write-off.
When inspecting the vehicle, check the following information:
Date and year of manufacture is the same as the date on the vehicle identification plate;
The number plate matches that stated on the licence papers;
Date and year of manufacture is the same as the date on the vehicle identification plate;
The vehicle identification number or chassis number in the engine bay matches that stated on the licence registration papers;
The vehicle is licensed, and when the licence expires;proof that the person selling the car is the owner, i.e. they have the vehicle licence papers, a sales receipt or driver's licence to help identify who they are.
A price and a method of payment needs to be agreed upon between yourself and the seller, and only proceed if you are completely happy with the purchase.
