Effective December 19, 1988, all lawn darts are banned from sale in the United States. I was wondering how far the thread would get before somebody pointed out that it is literally a Federal Offense to sell Lawn Darts. Yup. Klackers too. The cite is somewhere in the CSPS rules, a Federal Regulation. If you sell 'em at a yard sale, you're breaking a Federal Rule.

When Lawn Darts are outlawed, only Outlaws will have Lawn Darts.

2000 CFR Title 7, Volume 4 <-- Link
Check 16 CFR 1500.18, "Banned toys and other banned articles intended for use by children." The list includes:
- (a)(4) Lawn darts
- (a)(5) Loud caps
- (a)(7) Clacker balls
- (a)(12) Any bicycle as defined in Sec. 1512.2(a) of this chapter
- (c)(1) Any kite 10 inches or greater in any dimension constructed of aluminized polyester film or any kite having a tail or other component consisting of a piece of aluminized polyester film 10 inches or greater in any dimension presents an electrical hazard and is a banned hazardous substance because its design (specifically its size and electrical conductivity) presents a risk of personal injury from electric shock due to its ability to conduct electricity and to become entangled in or otherwise contact high voltage electric power lines.
CPSC, taking the thrill out of growing up.
