Florida woman files lawsuit against Hershey for \u201cmisleading\u201d Reese\u2019s packaging The Hershey CompanyA woman in Florida has filed a lawsuit against the Hershey Company for its \u201cmisleading\u201d packing for the Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Pumpkins. Cynthia Kelly filed a class action lawsuit on December 29 seeking millions in damages against Hershey for deceiving customers over its candy packaging. The specific candy that she claims had \u201cmisleading\u201d packaging was Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Pumpkins from this year\u2019s Halloween season. Kelly\u2019s lawyer is no stranger to high-profile lawsuits against food companies. They have filed legal action against Burger King and Taco Bell for false advertising when it comes to the size of their food, and the amount of meat in their product respectively. Both suits are ongoing. This suit is in a similar vein, as the complaint said that Hershey\u2019s labels \u201care materially misleading and numerous consumers have been tricked and misled by the pictures on the products\u2019 packaging.\u201d Lawsuit filed over Reese\u2019s candy packaging being \u201cmisleading\u201d Kelly claims in the legal filing that the candies she bought from her local Aldi in October lacked the artistic carvings for the eyes and mouth of the pumpkin displayed on the packaging. She said she would not have spent $4.49 on the candy if she knew it would not have the carvings on it. The complaint also shows similar illustrations from Hershey\u2019s football-shaped Reese\u2019s candy, which shows laces on the packaging, but not on the candy itself. The other products included in the class-action suit include Reese\u2019s White Pumpkins, Reese\u2019s Pieces Pumpkins, Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Ghost, Reese\u2019s White Ghost, Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Bats, Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter footballs, and Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Shapes Assortment Snowmen Stockings Bells. The plaintiff filed the lawsuit over the Reese\u2019s product in Flordia and is seeking damages for people in the state who have purchased any other products listed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
