Pennsylvania-based The Hershey Company is facing a lawsuit seeking $5 million in damages over the wrappers on Reese's peanut butter candies.
HERSHEY, Pa. (CBS) -- A Florida woman is upset about the lack of designs on Reese's holiday-themed peanut butter candy - and now she's taking parent company Hershey to court over it.
Cynthia Kelly filed a federal class-action lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Florida, alleging several Reese's products don't match their photos as depicted on the wrappers.
For example, Reese's peanut butter pumpkins are merely pumpkin-shaped hunks of peanut-butter-stuffed chocolate, and the actual product has no Jack O'lantern-style carvings as the wrapper depicts, Kelly alleges.
We are so sorry you're disappointed that the football candies didn't have the laces as shown on the wrapper. Your comments will be forwarded along to our Marketing Department.
I definitely agree that this particular "problem" hardly negatively affects anyone, but I'm always glad to see false advertising cases. There should be strict standards across the board when it comes to deceiving customers, even on things like food presentation
Presentation? Nah. Contentand amount sure. But the way a food looks has nothing to do with what it tastes like and it's nutritional content. This right here is idiotic. I never expect chocolate to have the design found on the foil.
