No amount of safeguards will save one from death by stupidity; you don't need the Darwin Awards to tell you that and your lack of parenting skills should not be affecting everyone else who has enough intelligence to check a chocolate for a toy when it is pineappling advertised to contain a toy.
You don't understand. The mindset is "I (or my child or other loved one) got injured or killed. Somebody's got to pay!"
And if the courts agree that the big bad corporation is somehow to blame, then that takes away my guilt and lets me sleep at night.
People don't like taking responsibility for anything, and obviously don't like paying, either.
