Blog:Lawn Darts

Lawn Darts (Or Jarts) are footlong metal tipped darts that you toss on the lawn. They were first introduced in the 1950s, but have been banned in the United States after numerous incidents with them.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) To address the elephant in the room: the tips at the end of the darts are made of metal, making it incredibly easy to injury and/or kill someone with it.
 * 2) Although they could be no longer sold to any toy department, that didn't stop some toy stores from selling them, and the injuries just kept on coming!
 * 3) The toy is responsible for 3 deaths: a 4 year old, a 7 year old and a 13 year old.
 * 4) There were over 6,100 injuries reported from the toy from 1978 to 1987.

Good Qualities

 * 1) At least Canada made a much safer plastic version.
 * 2) They can be nostalgic to some people.
 * 3) It would help us bring the W.A.T.C.H and CPSC.
