Halloween Precautions

• Must be over 18 years of age to purchase.
  
• Dry Ice is EXTREMELY COLD (-109.3 degrees F) and causes injuries similar to burns on contact with skin, especially wet skin.  Wear eye protection and gloves while working with dry ice.
  
• Do not put dry ice in your mouth or swallow it.
  
• Do not put dry ice in sealed containers or bottles. Injury may result when the container bursts from the build up of pressure as the CO2 converts from solid to gas form.
  
• Dry ice is brittle and can be broken into more managable chunks using a hammer.  Do not place on tile or formica as the extreme cold will break the bonding agent. Use a wooden cutting board.
  
• 10 pounds of dry ice will completely disappear in 24 hours. It may be stored in an ice chest or a styrofoam container (i.e. insulated and non-airtight).  IT WILL FREEZE ANY FOOD SHARING THE CONTAINER!
  
• Do not store in a frost-free refrigerator or freezer since the increased air flow in these appliances will dramatically decrease the life of the dry ice.
  
• Keep dry ice wrapped in newspaper or paper bag stored in an ice chest for longest life and best results.

Happy Halloween!
