FUN ‘N SAFE Magnetic Dart Boards

On February 22, 2008, Family Dollar stores recalled about 250,000 of its FUN ‘N SAFE Magnetic Dart Boards because small magnets on the ends of the darts can detach, posing aspiration and intestinal hazards to children who may swallow them. If more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause potentially fatal intestinal perforations or blockages.
