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.

Remarkable things happening on Facebook.
A screenshot of replies to our enchanted scorpion post on facebook. One follower points out: "The amazing AI suggestions on this include enchanted scropion's price and what makes scorpions enchanted" another user says, mine says more about enchanted scorpions.

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.

Happy Black Friday! Shop smart and shop safe! Take it away, Gus!
A guy in a Santa hat selling brown boxes out of the back of a car. It's Uncle Gus! Back for another year of selling products of questionable quality and origin. The boxes say: Cheap lithium-ion batteries, enchanted crabs, Lafufus, KPOP ghost fighters, good social media website, electronic money, Christmas Tree Fire Skeleton T-Shirts. The text reads: Buy from retailers you know and trust. When shopping online, you could be buying directly from the manufacturer or through a third-party seller. Avoid buying counterfeit items - look closely at all images of the item, packaging and label for mistakes. If the price seems too good to be true, the product could be counterfeit and unsafe.

Black Friday reminder - that product with a great price being sold by a company with a name that's just a bunch of random letters may end up on our website someday because it explodes.
