US balloon retailers aim to show responsibility

ERJ staff report (DS)

Trenton New Jersey -- The US-based Balloon Council is aiming to promote responsible use and selling of consumer balloons. The group is offering free balloon weights as part of its Responsible Balloon Retailer (RBR) program designed to proactively educate consumers about smart balloon use.

Retailers in the RBR program promise to adhere to a code of smart balloon practices. This includes proactively educating customers on how to best enjoy balloons with practical tips such as not releasing foil balloons. Participating retailers in the RBR program have been provided with a window decal so that customers know that they are dealing with a Balloon Council-certified Responsible Balloon Retailer.
