Energizer Family Safety Give Away!

Do you know what you should be doing the November 4th? This year the time change is on November 4 and it also marks the 25th anniversary of the annual Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program. While you’re taking a few minutes to set your clocks, don’t forget to take a few minutes to change the batteries in your smoke detectors as well.  If there was ever a more important time to check those batteries it is the holiday season. We all have heard those sad stories of Thanksgiving and Christmas centered fires, which strike homes every year.

Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) are once again working with local fire departments nationwide to raise awareness on the importance of working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in helping to keep families safe in their homes.  And in honor of the day and the motto from October 11 through November 4, you can visit the Energizer Bunny® Facebook page and click on the Fire Safety Info Tab.  Here you will have the chance to enter a sweepstakes to win a Family Safety Kit.  Energizer will be giving away one Family Safety Kit per day for 25 days. 

Contained in the kit, valued at more than $150 is:

  •  One reusable grocery tote
  • Two Kidde Battery-Operated Combination Carbon Monoxide and Smoke Alarms
  • One package of Energizer Advanced Lithium batteries
  • One package of Energizer® MAX® Batteries with Power Seal Technology
  • Two Energizer flashlights
  • Two Energizer Flameless Wax Candles
  • One Energizer Bunny Plush Bunny

In addition you can find fire safety tips, a home escape plan that you can download and draw your family’s home escape plan, as well as a coloring and activity sheet. 

With daylight savings soon upon us what better time to ask for everyone to adopt a life-saving habit, changing the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.  So again I urge you. When you change your clocks, don't forget to change your batteries in ALL the smoke detectors in your home, including those carbon Monoxide detectors. This is an important step in keeping yourself and family safe and is worth a few minutes of your time.

Did you know that Thirty-eight percent of fatal fire injuries occur in homes without working smoke alarms, while 24 percent occur in homes in which at least one smoke alarm is present but fails to operate.*

Don't forget that motto - Change Your Clock Change Your Battery.

To help get you off on the right foot, Energizer is offering one lucky reader a additional Family Safety Kit this time including:

Energizer product

  • Two packages of Energizer® MAX® Batteries with Power Seal Technology – Dependable, powerful performance for the devices that help keep your family safe; now hold their charge when stored for up to 10 years
