The Most Dangerous Summer Toys for Kids in 2018

A consumer protection group released its annual list of the most dangerous toys kids play with in summer. Here are some of the most-dangerous toys you might encounter this summer.

1. Water balloon slingshots. They can cause eye injuries. Especially if kids use them to shoot other things, like rocks. They also have small pieces that are choking hazards.
2. Lawn darts. The kind with pointed tips have been illegal since 1988. Darts are still make them with weighted tips that aren't sharp but can cause head injuries.
3. Big Wheels, and other low-rider tricycles. They're really hard to see when you're driving. So you have to be careful about when and where you let your kids use them.
4. Swimming pools. Even those little baby pools you fill with a hose can be a major risk. Always pay attention when your kids are in a pool. Young kids can drown in less than two inches of water and it can happen in less than 30 seconds.
5. Slip 'N Slides. There's a real risk of head, neck, and spine injuries. People have been paralyzed from sliding into stuff, including other kids. Adults need to be careful too, because they're heavier and slide faster.
