Ladder press conference.
A sentient ladder wearing a Santa hat holding press conference. They are standing at a podium surrounded by microphones. The ladder says Thank you all for coming. We are asking Americans to place us on a firm, flat surface and to please have a spotter to help prevent falls when setting up holiday decorations.

Water your tree.
A burning skeleton emerges from a Christmas tree. The flames begin to envelop the home. The skeleton looks directly at you and says: Water your Christmas tree. A dry Christmas tree burns faster than newspaper.

Shop safe this holiday season, America!
A cell phone with a screen that is a shopping app. There is a man in the corner dressed like an untrustworthy salesman wearing a Santa hat. The text reads: Uncle Gus' Fine Goods Online. Leaded toys. 50% off exploding batteries. Space heaters that will start fires from $9.99. 20% off tools that break when you use them. Buy my junk with your money now! Where you shop for the holidays matters. Buy from retailers you know and trust! If the price seems too good to be true, the product could be counterfeit and unsafe.

Check your kid's list for the Flaming Sword of Handsomeus Ronicus.
Santa sitting at a computer in his home looking at the kinds of gifts people are thinking about buying for kids. He comes across a listing for a mystical sword of fire. Santa's advanced computer monitor creates a projection of the sword above the screen. Santa is surprised and says, "The Flaming Sword of Handsomeus Ronicus? To be handled only by the Champions of Light after completing the Trials of Virtue?! Who is gifting this to kids?!" A reindeer nearby says, "Oh, yeah. Ages 300+ for that one. Says it on the box." The text reads: Someday your kids may complete the Trials and attain the Sword. Until then, you should buy age appropriate gifts for kids from retailers you know and trust.

PSA for cold people.
A space heater facing off against a stuffed bear. They are much too close to one another. Hovering over them is a vast fire entity with the face of a dragon waiting for a fire to spark. The text reads: your space heater needs space. Keep your space heater at least 3 feet away from anything flammable including beds, blankets, toys, and pillows.

Yeah, I think you can say we watch TV.
A black tangle of tentacles glowing red fighting their way out of a shipping box. The box is covered in a logo that is a pocketwatch with a fedora hat on top. There is a shipping label that says Seller: H. Creel to Gnome. Nearby, a gnome holds a cellphone with a picture of a chainsaw on it. The text reads: Oh, Gnome! That doesn't look like the picture! Accidentally order a Horror from the downsideup? These things happen! Buy from retailers you know and trust this holiday season!

A previous CPSC social media manager missed an opportunity to use that one Mad Men episode as an exceptional safety PSA. We regret this error.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.
A glowing purple scorpion wearing a Santa hat jumping out of a present box. The text reads: Surprise! The enchanted scorpion of your dreams! It's the perfect gift for you - a normal person who understands the ramifications and complexities of owning an enchanted scorpion. Adults can make informed decisions about the things they own. Kids need help. Only buy safe gifts for kids this holiday season.
