The businesses all sold the hollow milk chocolate eggs that contain a toy in a plastic capsule. 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.
"They said it's illegal," said Joseph Ramirez, who works at Jin Market. "They took it out of the store."
Jigs Patel, who recently opened the London Candy Co. on the Upper East Side, where he is importing candy from the U.K., had already run out of his Kinder eggs by the time he got his visit from a CPSC official just before Easter.

My kids love these chocolates when they were little. I opened them for them and removed the toys for them so that they didn't choke on them.
