Not really though. I get you’re trying to be funny (and kids are idiots) but it’s pretty simply that confectioneries can’t contain non-nutritive items and the toy fully surrounded by chocolate is exactly that. There’s very good reasons for the law, but it means treats like this get caught in the crossfire. There’s very FDA has agreed in that past there likely isn’t a large risk to kinder eggs, but the law is how it is and hasn’t been changed (and it seems unlikely that it will in the near future at least).
Short answer: American kids are too dumbto not choke on toys.
All kids are idiots–even the smart ones.
Do you mean all American kids? Because these aren’t banned worldwide…
Per the article, “accidents are rare but tragic.” So kids with access to these—i.e. non-American kids—do occasionally choke on them.
But you can give a gun to your toddler? Apparently “accidents are rare but tragic” doesn’t stand for guns?
No. I don’t.
No no, I’m not American and my kids are definitely idiots…
