Target Dive Sticks Due to Impalement Hazard
The notice asks people to return it — see below for how.
What’s wrong
The recalled dive sticks could remain in an upright position, posing an impalement hazard to young children.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
