Stop using lawn darts made by Crown Darts UK and dispose of them, the company and CPSC warn
August 31, 2020
Lawn darts are banned in the United States due to serious risks of skull punctures and other serious injuries, especially to children.
About 19,400 darts made by Crown Darts UK were sold in the United States and about 4,048 in Canada.
No incidents or injuries have been reported.
The recalled lawn dart sets were sold for two, four, and five players and contained four, eight, and 10 darts respectively, as well as individual spare darts.
The lawn darts are about a foot long, have polypropylene fins designed to be held at the tail, and a brass body ending in a stainless steel peg. The lawn darts were sold online at www.crowndarts.com from May 2004 through June 2020 for between $15 and $139.
Crown Darts UK is unable to conduct the recall. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled lawn dart sets and destroy and dispose of them to prevent further usage, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advises.
