Legalize Kinder product "Kinder Surprise" eggs and similar foods.

Created by L.S. on December 23, 2011

The chocolate sweet "Kinder Surprise," popular among children in many foreign countries, has been illegal in the United States since the Ferrero Group's application was turned down due to an inedible food ban in 1993.[1] This ban of Kinder eggs is ridiculous, especially when noting that Kinder Surprise eggs have numerous warnings of inedible objects and state clearly on the packaging that an inedible item lies inside. A very fair warning. This product is only deadly to those who disregard packaging labels and wish to swallow the egg whole. Ban of Kinder eggs also wastes time and money of the CBP (Customs and Border Protection).

I propose lifting the ban on trade and sale of these Kinder Surprise eggs and any similar food with fair warnings.
