Also Nerf has multiple options for lawn darts on sale that don't have spikes. And no one ever banned horseshoes or bocci which are also the exact same game/sport. They just stopped selling the one particular variant, and not really because they were "banned", but because of the market realities of the low margins for selling only a somewhat fun toy versus the litigation costs and settlement costs from its injuries. If they thought there was big enough demand they'd slap a ton of warnings on it, include an arbitration clause in a jurisdiction friendly to them, and put it back in stores in a heartbeat.
