Holidays

If you are planning on serving a stronger drink this holiday season then you should know about Arkansas’s “social hosts” law.

You might not think of Halloween as being a dangerous holiday, but it is actually one of the most dangerous

Be aware this 4th of July, statewide, Arkansas law enforcement officers will reinforce their campaign of ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’. This campaign means ZERO tolerance for drunk driving. And your choice to drink and drive could have staggering consequences.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in its 2016 Fireworks Annual Report, estimated that 11,100 injuries treated in U.S. hospital emergency departments during 2016, were fireworks-related. Additionally, there were an estimated 900 emergency department-treated injuries associated with sprinklers and 400 with bottle rockets. Of those injuries, 7,600 fireworks-related injuries, or 68 percent, occurred between June 18, 2016 and July 18, 2016.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are joining forces this holiday season to keep kids safe and stop dangerous and violative toys from reaching kids’ hands.
