So i just found out that the old time childrens classic kinder surprise is ileagal in the USA. Does anyone else think this is madness? Ar 15 is ok colt 45 no worries conseled weapon no dramas but a chocolate ilegal? Haha seems crazy to me. Is that not against one of your rights or armendments?
This is the info i found.
The 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act contains a section highlighting that a confectionery product with a non-nutritive object, partially or totally imbedded within it, cannot be sold within the United States, unless the FDA issues a regulation that the non-nutritive object has functional value.[11] Essentially, the 1938 Act bans “the sale of any candy that has imbedded in it a toy or trinket.”[12]
In 2012 the FDA re-issued their import alert stating “The imbedded non-nutritive objects in these confectionery products may pose a public health risk as the consumer may unknowingly choke on the object.”[13]
