Balloon Safety
Many people love balloons, but not everyone knows about the safety precautions that should be taken with balloons. So let’s explore the things you should keep in mind when you buy balloons!
When balloons are around kids or pets, always keep a close eye on your kiddos and furry friends. Popped or deflated balloons make a possible choking hazard for the younger kiddos and pets. Never, never, never let a child chew on a balloon.
With helium filled balloons, never release balloons into the outdoors. Foil balloons pose a risk to tangling with electrical lines and could potentially cause power outages. Always keep helium balloons on weights to reduce the risk of release.
Then lastly, NEVER fill a balloon with hydrogen. Some people think that since hydrogen makes balloons float, then it is safe. But hydrogen is extremely flammable and poses a huge risk to the safety of yourself and others. If a balloon decorator says they fill balloons with hydrogen, run in the other direction!
