Lawn Darts/ Jarts/ Yard Darts (NO LONGER ALLOWED)

[Steve King (Admin)]

NOTICE: On Dec. 30, 2010, My competitor (Steve, the Jartsman from Oregon) and I (Steve, the Lawn Dart Parts guy from Missouri) were paid a visit by Uncle Sam (the men in black concept is true!) and advised (pressured) by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) to stop promoting the selling of lawn darts and associated parts via this site and to stop selling parts via what used to be the Lawn Dart Parts website. We have complied with their request and I shut down my website Lawn Dart Parts and he his website, Jarts-LawnDarts. A pending lawsuit against us from the US Government was just not worth it.

As an extra step, I have also removed the contents of this lawn darts forum from this website (I didn't want to push any buttons, since my pockets aren't that deep). Per their advice, I would recommend that any and all parts and sets be destroyed. Selling assembled sets AND parts are both illegal and prohibited by the US and Canadian governments. If you are thinking about selling them, even if just parts, then don't do it. They WILL come knock at your door too.

Details on the U.S. ban can be found here:

With that said and moving on with my life, feel free to browse my other websites. This site that you are currently on is www.TossingGames.com and is considered the worlds largest tossing games forum.   

After the shut down of the Lawn Dart Parts website, I had to revert to my other lawn game passion. I still sell some of the highest quality Cornhole game products in the country via www.STLCornhole.com and am considered one of the top players in the St. Louis area.

My newest project after the demise of Lawn Dart Parts is www.CornholeCarryCases.com.    


Please don't email me regarding lawn dart parts. I don't sell them any longer and my complete stock has been destroyed (Seriously, cut up into little bitty piece while Uncle Sam watched over a 2 hour span ). I probably still average 3 emails per month from people begging for parts or where they can find them. I can almost guarantee that at least one is Uncle Sam undercover to see if I will sell (nope!). I can't even recommend places to buy them, so please don't ask. I had to move on.  


At least the world is a much safer place now than before.


ONCE AGAIN, REMEMBER, if you are thinking about selling or buying Jarts (Lawn Darts), then DON'T DO IT!!!! They are 100% illegal and the CPSC won't hesitate to get you. The government is watching. I can attest to that.

Just a point, although the sale of Jarts has been banned in the US, there is nothing stopping you making your own set:

dont even see a forum for new OR old jarts on here. anyone know the REAL scoop on the original jarts? wish someone would explain the legalities to me. seen some legal forum discussions and i dont see that they r illegal to have or play, just to sell? and if over 14 yrs of age it doesnt seem to be an issue either? one cant actually get arrested for playin them can they? any help would be appreciated. i see men in black demanding jarts be shredded by the admin. seems way against our rights. heck i SHOULD be able to own a collection of jarts, thats my right? well thats all the soap boxin im gonna do:) just really would like to know and im sure others would as well. im just as likely to take a horshoe to the head as a jart! EVERYTHING is dangerous if u think about it. if everyone is throwin from the same side and uses their brains there is never a chance of an injury in my mind! would also be interested in knowin what those 6000 injuries really were and their circumstances?.........concerned citizen:)

Old school Jarts (Lawn Darts) with the metal tips are illegal to sell. That INCLUDES parts. The government will NOT come to your home and arrest or scold you if you are playing with them, however keep in mind if there is an accident with them, and you are playing with them, you may be held accountable and a lawyer for the other party would have a field day with the law from the ban on their side. However, the CSPC will shut you down if you attempt to sell them. As admin, I can vouch for that. You don't want to deal with that headache. The ban has been in place for a few decades now and they will follow through tracking down those within the states selling them.
