Looking for lawn darts!

[Mr Unoriginal]

I have no hope that I will find these, buuuut, I'm looking for some lawn darts. Not the new school ones mind you, I need the dangerous as fuck ones that I think may actually be illegal now (?) If someone can point me in the right direction I would love you long time.

good luck


WASHINGTON, D.C. - After a recent serious injury caused by a lawn dart, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reissued its warning that lawn darts are banned and should be destroyed. Effective on December 19, 1988, CPSC banned the sale of all lawn darts in the United States. Pointed lawn darts, intended for use in an outdoor game, have been responsible for the deaths of three children. The most recent injury occurred last week in Elkhart, Ind., when a 7-year-old boy suffered a brain injury after a lawn dart pierced his skull.

"CPSC banned lawn darts in 1988, but some of these dangerous products may still be in garages, basements, or second-hand stores," said CPSC Chairman Ann Brown. "Parents should destroy these banned lawn darts immediately."

Before the 1988 ban, lawn darts were sold in sets that usually included four large darts and two targets. Lawn darts also were sold in packages with other sports equipment. The darts typically are about 12 inches long with a heavy metal or weighted plastic tip on one end and three plastic fins on a rod at the other end. The darts are intended to be grasped by the rod and thrown underhand toward a target. Lawn darts can cause skull punctures and other serious injuries. CPSC urges consumers to discard or destroy all lawn darts immediately. They should not be given away since they may be of harm to others.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission protects the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death from 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. To report a dangerous product or a product-related injury and for information on CPSC's fax-on-demand service, call CPSC's hotline at (800) 638-2772 or CPSC's teletypewriter at (800) 638-8270. To order a press release through fax-on-demand, call (301) 504-0051 from the handset of your fax machine and enter the release numb/er. Consumers can obtain this release and recall information at CPSC's web site at http://www.cpsc.gov or via Internet gopher services at cpsc.gov. Consumers can report product hazards to info@cpsc.gov.

Only 3 kids? That's bullshit, cars have killed many more than that and THEY are still around. And let's be honest, lawn darts are more important than cars.

HA! Comedic gold! :lol:

Try scouring some garage sales or (if you have one in your area) a flea market. I KNOW I've seen some at flea markets before.

Are you looking to get these cheap or just get them? Because the UK still has some sense and hasn't outlawed them. They're not cheap, however: http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/seeds/pages/garden-games14.htm

Please note - I cannot ship darts to the USA on account they are banned there

Let's start a "Bring back the Lawn Darts" club and march on Washington with picket signs

[Mr Unoriginal]

Thanks for the attempt. I'm still looking. Will buy from someone on here if you have a set. And lemme answer the question on everyone's mind: No, I'm not a lawn darts narc.

Damn, awesome work, thanks a lot. I promise not to kill you now since you helped me out. Just curious, is there anyway I could get in "trouble" for this?

And how. It's how the Waco stand-off/massacre started.

[elprincipe]

Man, I remember playing with these when I was young (supervised though) because my grandparents had a set. A lot of fun. Too bad people are stupid and let their kids use dangerous toys unsupervised. I'd love a set too.

[LV-426RS]

According to cpsc.com it's only illegal to sell them. Owning them should be okay.

[biggestinuyashafan]

i used to have some of these. must have been illegally since i was born in 1985 and can still remember playing with them.

"I'll stand here, you stand way over there, near that target thing. I throw this javalin-dart at the target. What could go wrong?"

"Oh, and make sure the kids are playing tag around us!"

I miss Jarts...

[LV-426RS]

I think some people played with modified rules.

Annoying kids stand in the target circle.

[rabbitt]

My grandparents have the hardcore darts. I think I played with them last easter or the one before that. And what is so funny is that there were lots of little kids running around playing catch and the like.
