Lawn Darts were legitimately dangerous, but I think the reason Kinder Eggs are illegal in the US is that US law says you can't sell "candy that has embedded in it a toy or trinket". The intent of the law was to stop things like in the 1950s where toys were literally embedded in the food, which obviously isn't the case with Kinder Eggs. And it obviously isn't really a safety issue as places like Europe that have far stricter safety laws than the US have no problem with Kinder Eggs.
