What happened

Franklin Sports Industries, Inc. is recalling all of its lawn dart sets because the blunt metal tips may pose a risk of laceration injuries, particularly to children. The recalled products include Model #3210 Yard Dart Set sold individually, as well as Models #3283, #3284, and #3287 sold as combination game sets. Each set contains four yard darts that are 12 1/2 inches long with a 1 3/4 inch blunt metal tip and one aerodynamic fin with three wings. The Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the sale of lawn darts on December 19, 1988, and Franklin Sports previously initiated a recall in fall 1988.

Consumers who have these yard darts should immediately stop using them and return only the four darts to Yard Dart Recall, Franklin Sports Industries, Inc., Parkway, Stoughton, MA 02072. To confirm the darts are Franklin-made, consumers should look for the permanently embossed FRANKLIN logo and the warning "ADULT GAME NOT RECOMMENDED FOR CHILDRENS USE" on two of the wings; only darts bearing both identifying marks should be returned. Consumers will receive $5.00 directly from Franklin Sports Industries, Inc. for each set of four returned darts. For additional information, consumers may contact Franklin Sports at 1-800-225-8679, or Massachusetts residents may call 1-617-344-1111.
