On December 19, 1988, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned metal tipped lawn darts from sale in the United States.
In 1989, Lawn Darts were also banned in Canada. Lawn darts, used in an outdoor game, had been responsible for the deaths of three children.
Safety versions of lawn darts can be found in a few stores around the United States.
The game was also often called jarts or yard darts.

Very nicely answered! I am wondering how many injuries occured to prompt the banning of metal lawn darts?
Lawn darts were introduced in the 1960s and banned in the US in 1988, at which time it was estimated that they were responsible for about 670 emergency-room visits per year. At that rate, there would have been over 13,000 ER visits caused by lawn darts in the US before they were banned.
