There are two types of Kinder Eggs: Kinder Surprise[1] and Kinder Joy[2]. Kinder Surprise is banned in the US because it contains "non-nutritive objects" inside the egg. Kinder Joy packs the toy separately and has been sold in the US since 2017.

The person I responded to said "Kinder Eggs." Which they do in fact sell in the US, and this distinction doesn't change that.

If they had wished to say Kinder Surprise, they could and should have done so.
