S 2510 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires reflective material on children's Halloween costumes.

This bill requires retailers to sell children's Halloween costumes with reflective material attached or included for attachment. It applies to costumes intended for children under 18, aiming to improve visibility during trick-or-treating. Retailers violating the requirement face civil penalties of up to $500 for the first offense and $1,000 for repeat violations. The law aligns with safety recommendations from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, which notes that better visibility reduces Halloween-related accidents caused by low-light conditions.
