Kinder Egg

Just found out they are banned in America because of the yellow capsule may cause a chocking hazard

:eek:

While Kinder eggs have been available in Canada since 1975, the product has never been allowed into the US for several reasons. In 1993 the Ferrero Group (the maker of Kinder eggs) applied to have the eggs sold in the USA, but was turned down because of a prohibition against having an inedible item inside an edible object.

More recently, the US Consumer Products Safety Commission determined in 2008 that the product did not meet the small-parts requirement for toys for children under the age of three, creating a choking and aspiration hazard in young children. Since 1991, at least 7 children worldwide have died of choking after swallowing the toy inside the Kinder egg[8]."

Can remember having them when I was about 6-7

Crazy yanks.

they are sold in packs or 10 or so so if you unwrap them all then it's like a kit kat chunky. always find kinder products so over priced for the small amount you get. same with bueno

You never know, they might start putting crossfire or sli bridges inside the eggs.

They are banned because FDA clinical testing revealed dangerously high levels of eurofaggotry.

Are you twisted and bitter?

So the small toy that comes in smaller bits its fine, but the capsule itself is the choking hazard?

FFS all food is a potential choking hazard, why dont they just slap a warning on the packaging like everyone so morons cant sue them?
