I hear it started because some kid choked and died. Who eats the egg whole, I mean seriously?
I've never heard of any kid actually dying like that. I've heard of watchgroups THEORIZING that a kid could die, but I haven't actually seen any stories that I remember.
I agree it is a stupid law that violates personal freedom, but wiki cites 7 deaths worldwide from kinder egg choking :
Since 1991, at least 7 children worldwide have died of choking after swallowing the toy inside the Kinder egg.[7]

First there's indication on the paper who said the age child can get it or not which is still a good indicator if your child will be able to understand if this is a toy or not. Second if you didn't watch your child when eating the egg... then In my opinion you won't be the father / mother of the day.
The toy inside are very small of course and can lead to choking. So people must use their brain when involve kids...
Btw, I'm from Canada / Québec as most people now should know, so if you want eggs in the case bitmunchies couldn't bring them on their site, I can send unlimited number of eggs.
