Cinnamon oil is still permitted for foods in the USA.  It's  GRAS (generally recognized as safe, for the non-food-technicians out there.) cf CFR 21, 182.20, essential oils and oleoresins.

I remember that you used to be able to get cinnamon oil at the pharmacy, or at
least you could thirty years ago. I remember using it to make cinnamon
toothpicks. Does anyone know whether cinnamon oil has suddenly gotten banned
in the U.S.? I've like the mouthwashes with the cinnamon in them. One that I
liked, and can't remember the name of, had cinnamon and cloves in it. Now I
can't seem to find any of the red, cinnamon mouthwashes at any of my local
grocery stores.
