BOSTON — A consumer advocacy group is reminding parents of the dangers of classic summertime toys like baby pools, high-powered water guns and inflatable pool rings.

Boston-based World Against Toys Causing Harm issued its annual list of 10 “summer safety traps” Tuesday.

Other toys on the list include water balloon slingshots, on-ground water slides such as the Slip ‘N Slide, and projectile-firing toy guns.

Nonmotorized scooters also earned a spot because the organization says they’re responsible for most toy-related injuries.
