    Officials said they've seized more than 25,000 of the treats in 2,000 separate seizures.

    The threat these Kinder Treats pose to children of the united states is xaggerated

    It seems a bit strange, but if you'd ever had to race a choking kid to the emergency room you might not find it ridiculous.

    I find it strange that a treat with a toy that can't be got at by anyone young enough to be silly enough to put it in their mouths has been banned in a country that has NO issue with kids handling firearms.

    I wouldnt, but I also wouldnt give a toddler a kinder egg.

    I would. Just not the toy (or the plastic thing no one can open in the first place), but they can have the chocolate.

    Most of the shit doctors remove from toddlers' throats are objects that their parents wouldn't (didn't) give them.

    Ya I guess we should ban everything that a toddler can put in their mouth. :roll:

    PRETTY sure that's not what I said. :roll: Pretend you're a 2 year-old: gets a hold of chocolate egg. Eats egg. Finds something inside egg. What's next?

    Are you suggesting we shouldn't ban ANYTHING on the grounds of "choking hazard"?

    I don't get it, if they seize this, then I guess they have to seize EVERYTHING small enough to choke a child... including small change and buttons. :?

    No, just toys, especially toys encased in chocolate.

    So I guess that Legos are OK then.

    What about chocolat covered almonds?
