Toy Inside Candy Egg Poses Choking Hazard

April 2006

Just in time for the Easter holiday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is issuing a reminder about “Kinder Chocolate Eggs.” The candy eggs are banned for sale in the United States because the toy surprise hidden inside can pose choking and aspiration hazards to children younger than 3 years of age.

The Kinder eggs are hollow milk chocolate eggs about the size of a large hen’s egg in an orange, white and blue foil wrapper. The toy inside the egg is contained in an oval-shaped plastic capsule. The toy requires assembly and each egg contains a different toy. The labeling is in various languages.

People who have purchased the candy eggs should take them away from young children immediately.
