It’s a USA liberal thang. Even Canada isn’t that uptight, weirdly enough.
We still have King Cake babies to choke on.

When I was a kid I had an entire collection of items fond in these eggs.
I remember little crocodiles were the most prized content.
While my kids were, well, kids I was bringing dozens of these back from Europe every trip, enough for them to share with friends and classmates at school. The chocolate they’re made of (milk on the outside of the shell and white chocolate on the inside) is typically European, i.e. richer than anything made here, and the little toys were complex, clever, and always worked. Never tried to bring them over from Canada but never had trouble getting them through customs in any of the three or four airports I’d fly through coming back from Europe. Always declared the value and showed “chocolates” on my landing card. Customs officers along the north border, both sides, seem to have peculiarly rugged sticks up their a$$e$.
My nieces and nephews love them. I’d say almost more than the ipads, etc.
If anyone from the government with an f’n brain actually looked at these eggs, they’d realize there is no way to choke by unknowingly eating them. It’s just another case of bureaucrats interpreting law to make work for themselves.
The inedible part is inside another hard plastic egg that can’t be swallowed and is a pain to crack open. Small kids (who might choke on toys) can’t open it and bigger kids often ask for help.
A few years ago I found a German gift shop/candy store in Washington D.C.(of all places) that sold these. I wonder if they are still in business? I long ago forgot the name of the store.
I don’t know about Kinder eggs but I definitely cross over the Niagara river to get my Swiss Chalet chicken ever since they closed them all here in Buffalo. That chicken is addictive I tell ya!
