+Jennifer: Maybe you want to know more yourself, or, you know, just read the article until the end where we get into this. Surprise eggs for children are still not legal because the law has not changed. What they`re actually doing is introducing a very different product into Kinder Joys, which was available in some parts of the U.S. anyway, but now the company is making a concerted effort to roll them out en masse. Surprise eggs for children are legal in Canada and Mexico, but can be imported illegally into the United States. CORNISH: For Wos, Kinder Joy is a step in the right direction. He will be able to get his solution legally, even if it is not quite the same as the surprise of the children. “The delicious and unique taste of Kinder Joy and the wide range of toys will delight the kids, while mom and dad will be surprised by the high quality of the confectionery and toys – it`s unlike anything currently available in the U.S.” Kinder Surprise is a milk chocolate egg lined with a layer of sweet milk cream. [5] [6] [7] Inside each egg is a plastic capsule containing a small surprise toy that sometimes needs to be assembled. [3] [8] [9] The capsule shell is yellow and supposedly resembles yellow. [10] [11] The chocolates have aluminum packaging with warnings advising parents not to administer eggs to children under three years of age and promoting supervision during consumption. [8] [12] That is, as many critics of the ban point out, every year countless children choke on things like hot dogs and big, hard candy, and no one is demanding that it be made illegal to sell hot dogs or gobstoppers. Or, more precisely, critics note that children are given chokstuffy toys all the time — and sometimes choke on them — but no one is asking for a ban on all toys that can get stuck in a person`s windpipe.
It is also noted by critics of this particular ban that, as with so many toys that pose a potential choking hazard, the packaging contains a warning not to give children under 3 years of age the children`s surprise because the toy inside presents a choking hazard. Although Jennifer claims that Kinder eggs have been legal since 2017, she is not aware that eggs sold in the United States are not the same as those sold in Europe, Mexico, and Canada. They are scammers! Chocolate is not so good and toys are not the same collections. I think that instead of banning children`s eggs, they should ban smoking: “When you`re a child, every surprise counts, especially the little ones. Kinder Joy is a fun new way to help parents bring little surprises to their kids at any time,” said Paul Chibe, CEO of Ferrero North America, in a statement. When Nestlé was preparing to launch the product, the FDA explicitly told them it was illegal under the federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, but Nestlé objected, noting that the product was completely safe and therefore should be considered one of the exceptions. Their position was supported by a report by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, which discharged its duty of care with respect to candy and concluded that it posed no choking risk with inedible products. In 1968, Michele Ferrero and his collaborators came up with the idea of a product that could be given to children so that they could experience a little “surprise” every day, based on the Italian tradition of large chocolate eggs that children give from their parents to children at Easter. [18] Ferrero said its attempt to implement this idea initially failed after employees asked a machine to make the chocolate eggs. They thought it wouldn`t make money since the eggs are only at Easter. [21] Ferrero also stated that it wanted the product to have a higher milk content and make it an important part of its advertising; He believed that mothers would respond well to the idea of giving their children more milk. [21] Ferrero commissioned William Salice to realize the concept.

This has led to a lot of confusion, mainly people who think that children`s surprise eggs have always been legal in the United States. Surprise eggs for children are legal in Canada and Mexico, but are allowed to be illegally imported into the United States. In January 2011, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) threatened a Manitoba resident with a $300 fine for transporting an egg across the U.S. border to Minnesota. [40] In June 2012, CBP detained two Seattle men for two and a half hours after discovering six children with surprise eggs in their cars as they returned to the United States from a trip to Vancouver. According to Joseph Cummings of Seattle, WA, one of the men arrested, a border agent estimated the possible fine at “$2,500 per egg.” [41] In 2015, a couple was detained for 4 hours after returning to the United States from Vancouver in a personal vehicle after customs discovered that the couple was hosting four of Eggs` children. They were threatened with three options: (1) a $400 fine per egg, (2) eat the eggs and effectively dispose of them in front of officers, or (3) separate the inedible toy from the edible chocolate shell. The couple decided to separate the chocolate from the toys and were released under their own care. Surprise eggs for children are banned in the United States and it is also illegal to import them there. A fierce legal battle has been fought, with Mars (Nestlé`s main competitor in the US) leading the charges against Nestlé.
Although Mars eventually claimed to be acting out of public concern, they initially denied having anything to do with the campaign to confirm that the candy was illegal. It was only later that it emerged that Mars had actually tried to fund the case, which was raised by public interest groups, first behind the scenes, before their involvement was discovered. They also launched their own lobbyist flash to convince the politicians concerned that Nestlé Magic was dangerous (presumably for the end result of Mars). Well, even Yowie surprises can suffocate children to death, but are not forbidden In a nutshell, or in this case, egg eggs, children`s eggs are illegal in the United States because they violate a rule of the Food, Drugs, and Cosmetics Act of 1938. The law, considered a “turning point in U.S. food policy,” was designed to protect the public from unscrupulous or sometimes simply negligent manufacturers. It was enacted due to several high-profile poisoning cases, including the deaths of 107 people (most of whom were children) in what became known as the 1937 elixir sulfanilamide incident. Nestlé also attempted a flash of political lobbying to change the law, including trying to get Congress to include language in a farm fund bill that would have legalized their product, along with Rep. George Nethercutt of Washington State, whose district included a large Nestlé factory with hundreds of voters.
pushing for changes to the wording. Children`s eggs come to the United States – legally. The hollow chocolate egg with the surprise of the toy inside was not allowed in the United States due to a 1930s law banning candy with non-food items, although fans of the European treat smuggled it in advance.
