Hammacher Schlemmer, Kensington Trading Lawn Dart Games Recalled

October 2, 2008    
John Jaques & Son is recalling lawn dart games sold by Kensington Trading Company online and Hammacher Schlemmer. The darts in the games pose a puncture hazard to young children. Lawn darts were banned in December 1988 to protect children from skull, face and eye puncture wounds.

The recalled lawn dart game, made in China, includes four projectiles, each consisting of a 14 3/4" bamboo shaft, four fins, and a wooden tip. They were sold from March 2006 through July 2008 for about $60.

Parents should immediately stop young children from playing with the recalled games and contact the firm to receive a refund. John Jaques & Son and Hammacher Schlemmer are contacting customers directly.

For additional information, contact the firm toll-free at (877) 374-8881 between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. MT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.jaqueslondon.com.

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
