NYC stores hit in crackdown on illegal chocolate eggs

SWAT team corners chocolate bunny Once it was the Mafia eating away at the soul of New York City. Now it’s store owners selling illegal chocolate eggs. Where’s Eliot Ness when you need him? From Fox Nation: Manhattan candy sellers had their Kinder eggs confiscated in raids by Consumer Product Safety Commission last week, DNAinfo has learned. The businesses, which sold the hollow milk chocolate eggs that contain a toy in a plastic capsule, were profiled by DNAinfo last week. The CPSC has banned the eggs, which are popular abroad and made by Italian manufacturer, Ferraro, because they are viewed as a choking hazard. At TriBeCa’s gourmet Jin Market, the CPSC seized a box of Kinder eggs, which have labels saying for children three and up.
