the law they were banned under in the USA is from 1938.
"But why are Kinder eggs banned? The U.S. law against the chocolate egg actually dates back to 1938. At that time, the country's Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act banned all candies embedded with "non-nutritive objects," such as toys. So, when Kinder eggs began to be manufactured in the '70s by Italian company Ferrero, they fell under this law and were made illegal in the U.S."

Aren't candy eggs "non-nutritive objects" in and of themselves?
