Consumer Groups Warn that New Easter Candy Poses Serious Hazard

Urge CPSC to Remove ‘Megga Surprize’ from Shelves to Protect Children

“Parents should not give this product to their children, especially younger children,” said Arthur S. Jaeger, assistant director of Consumer Federation of America. “It is a recipe for tragedy.”

“Because of its size, shape, color, and smell, this plastic egg will undoubtedly end up in children’s mouths—with potentially deadly consequences,” said Linda Golodner, president of NCL. “This candy has no place in children’s Easter baskets.”
