Default Christmas Cards are a FIRE HAZARD

VERY GOOD!! Minor spelling corrected so the fellers won't get yelled at after forwarding to their grade school teacher... :O)

WARNING

Christmas Cards are a serious FIRE HAZARD.

It's recommended that you do not send any Christmas Cards, unless they have been treated with an approved fire retardant material, and the cards have the U.L. sticker on them. If you receive Christmas cards in the mail, DO NOT bring them into your home. Check them outdoors to see if they have the U.L. sticker on them. If not, dispose of them in a fireproof metal trash container immediately.

Christmas cards are made from a flammable material known as paper. According to MSDS fact sheets, paper is classified as a highly flammable material. Do not allow this material in your home unless it's been treated with a flame-proof substance.

If you must bring one of these non-flame treated cards inside your home, place them inside a solid metal fireproof container and keep away from heat and flame. Do not remove the card from this box inside the home at any time. Take the container outdoors in an area that does not contain any flammable materials before opening the container.
