The chocolate maker has begun an immediate recall of all products containing the Lindor 16g milk egg, including the Lindt Lindor Milk Egg Bag and the Egg Easter Selection Bag.
"We understand that the temporary unavailability of these Easter chocolates may cause some inconvenience to families, but customer wellbeing is our first priority," said CEO of Lindt and Sprungli Australia Steve Loane.

Mr Loane on Wednesday said the company had recently discovered that "elements of peanut butter" were found in the 16g milk egg.
"We are placing a voluntary recall on all potentially affected products, as any consumers who have a peanut allergy or intolerance may have a reaction if they consume the products in question," he said in a statement.
Lindt is now working with Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) and the NSW Food Authority and will undertake further testing of the products.
Consumers can return the products directly to their retailer for a refund or replacement, Mr Loane said.
Concerned customers may call toll free 1300 009 361 in Australia or 0800 452 620 in New Zealand.
