European chocolate eggs with toys inside are illegal to import to the US

Not all eggs are created equal in the eyes of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Kinder Eggs, a popular European chocolate egg that contains a toy inside, is banned from importation into the United States because it contains a "non-nutritive object embedded in it."
With the Easter holiday around the corner, the agency issued the reminder this week, warning that the candy is considered unsafe for children under 3. Last year, Customs and Border Protection seized 25,000 of them in 1,700 incidents.
The hollow egg, which is sold by the Italian confectioner Ferrero, is available in Europe, Canada, Australia and parts of Latin America under various names including Kinder Surprise and Kinder Sorpresa. It has taken on a cult status among adults who collect the toys, which vary from rings to animals and cartoon characters.

So they are saying some Americans are to stupid to realise the toy is not edible

Are you kidding me??? Sometimes this country and it's rules amaze me....but you know some dumbass somewhere probably ate the toy...

Maybe they could make it legal but put a big "do not eat the toy" label on it, and make customers sign a waiver of liability in case they choose to eat the toy anyway.
