The american law prohibiting objects in food predates the kinder eggs by decades. And it's because people use to put all kinds of shit in american food. The law that bans them into is the Food, Drug and Cosmetic act of 1938.

    It should apparently be amended, though. There is a known case that it accidentally forbids but should not forbid.
