Value City is recalling about 300 African Blow Dart Guns. Consumers may have mistakenly purchased the dart guns thinking it was a decorative walking stick, posing the risk of injury if someone used the gun for its intended purpose.
The blow dart gun is a 51-inch long decorative wooden tube with an attached pouch containing five darts. The brown, bamboo-shaped gun has a black, small barrel-like container attached to the top.
The blow dart guns were sold at Value City stores nationwide from June 2005 through July 1, 2005 for about $5.
Consumers should secure the blow dart gun and darts and return them to any Value City store for a full cash refund.
Consumer Contact: For additional information, contact Value City toll-free at (888) 278-6370 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firms Web site at www.valuecity.com.
