Magnetic Dart Boards Recalled

Updated: February 26, 2008
Family Dollar Recalls about 250,000 Fun N' Safe Magnetic Dart Boards. Small magnets at the ends of the darts can detach. The magnets can cause aspiration or intestinal problems if found by young children.
The dart board is about 15 inches wide with a black, white, green, and red bulls eye checkered design and was sold with six 4-inch long magnetic darts. The darts magnetically adhere to the dart board when thrown. "Made in China" is embossed on the back of the board.
They were sold exclusively at Family Dollar stores nationwide from January 2001 through January 2008 for about $5.
Consumers should immediately take the recalled toys away from children and return the board and all of the darts to a Family Dollar store for a refund.
For additional information, contact Family Dollar at (800) 547-0359 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.familydollar.com
