It wasnt the "toy thing" theres a law about putting inedible choking hazards in food. The food drug and cosmetic act of 1938. It bans putting any toy or inedible object in candy unless it is a functional part of the food. So the capsule in the kinder egg isnt ok but the wooden stick in a popsicle, the stick of a lollypop or the ring of a ring pop is.
So, they could put a lollipop-shaped stick into a kinder-egg, to function as a handle? Then the toy could be inside the ball in the end of the handle, so that it wouldn't actually be inside the food, but a part of the handle, which would be a functional part of the food?
