"People travelling to the US would be well advised to refrain from taking Kinder Surprise eggs with them. The chocolate eggs are illegal in the US because of a law dating back to 1938 which bans inedible objects inside confectionery. There are concerns that small children could choke on the mini-toys found inside the eggs." (Der Speigel, http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/kinder-surprise-eggs-are-illeg..., 16 April 2012)
This petition is to allow the American consumer to make smart choices for their family rather than being subjected to a law created in 1938 that removes that choice. Kinder Surprise Eggs are a delight throughout the world and it is a shame to ban them in America. Imagine giving your child a small treat including a toy for $2!
