Recall Details
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Franklin Sports Industries, Inc. of Stoughton, Massachusetts, is the first company to voluntarily recall its yard dart sets because the blunt metal tips may pose a risk of injury, especially to children.
The Franklin yard darts were sold separately as Model #3210 Yard Dart Set and as part of combination sets as Model #3283 Three Game Combination Set, Model #3284 Three Game Combination Set, and Model #3287 Five Game Combination Set.
Each of these sets contained four yard darts, 12 1/2 inches long with a 1 3/4 inch blunt metal tip. Each dart has one aerodynamic fin with three wings.
