It is such a pity that all age children are bombarded with these sorts of treats every time they go shopping with their parents. This style of egg, as well as other choking hazards, should not be front and centre of the checkouts for children to see and therefore definitely want. Good luck moms!

This definitely crossed my mind when I was them in the shops. The size of the eggs paired with how hard the shells are would be so risky for littles. This is my son’s first Easter that he’ll be trying chocolate and we opted for local chocolatiers rather than grocery eggs and chocolate

My daughter loves the mini eggs but she is now 6. I never use to buy them when she was small as this was always a concern of mine but she is old enough now to be aware of this and I do still pick the times in which she can eat them and that is only when I am close to her.

I never knew they could be an issue to little ones. You think they’re small so I’m not giving them too much sugar, at least that’s what I would have thought. I’ll make sure not to buy them this year but, if I do, they will only be given to adults who have older children or empty nesters. Thank you for sharing this information.

I have only just started getting the mini eggs recently, so both of my kids are older than 5. I must admit, I had never thought about them being dangerous before, but it does make complete sense. I would imagine there could be risk in any miniature eggs and my kids did have the normal chocolate ones when they were little.

Something to be aware of each easter

I can see the danger. They should be used only with adult supervision or just avoided them.

Definitely agree on this point! They are cute and yummy but perfection for blocking those little airways. Best to leave them for the older children.

Great to know

Everything is a chocking hazard really. Common sense is really needed when giving a child anything like this.

There should be an age suggestion put on the packaging!

We will be staying away from these for sure

Oh no. Good to be aware of this.

This is why I don’t give chocolate at Easter!

This is a perfect reminder of what not to give to young children.

This has always caused me major anxiety whenever I see it in stores.

This is a good timely reminder!

Ooh, yes a danger for little ones definitely.

Great warning

I thought this might have been well known as they are so similar in size to grapes. But I guess sometimes we all need the reminder.
