A Banned Chocolate Treat
The toy-filled Kinder Surprise egg.
This hollow chocolate egg with a toy capsule inside has been a beloved treat around the world for decades, but it's illegal in the United States. A 1938 law, the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, bans any confectionary with a 'non-nutritive object embedded' inside. This law deems the popular candy a choking hazard for children.
