BOSTON — A local consumer watchdog group is reminding parents of the dangers of classic summertime toys like baby pools, high-powered water guns and inflatable pool rings.
World Against Toys Causing Harm - better known by its acronym, W.A.T.C.H.- issued its annual list of top 10 "summer safety traps" Tuesday. The organization also issues a Christmas list of dangerous toys.
Other toys on the summer list include water balloon slingshots, lawn slip-and-slides and projectile-firing toy guns.
Trampoline parks, all-terrain vehicles, pool covers and defective pool drain covers were other child safety risks included on the list.
Non-motorized scooters also earned a spot because the organization says they're responsible for most toy-related injuries.
The organization says July and August account for more preventable, accidental deaths than any other two-month period of the year.
