MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
MORAN, District Judge.
At Wayne and Paula Bradford’s Fourth of July picnic near Coal City in 1982, a group of children played “Slider Jarts.” “Jarts” is a lawn dart game manufactured by defendant Regent Sports Corporation. Paula Bradford’s mother had purchased the game at a Walgreen’s in Joliet. One of the darts, tossed by an eight-year-old girl, lodged itself in the skull of toddler Jeramie Aimone when he wandered into its path.
