Woman Sues Hershey Over Faceless Reese's Pumpkins, Alleges Deception
A Florida woman, Cynthia Kelly, has filed a class-action lawsuit against Hershey, alleging that the company's Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins and other holiday-themed products are misleadingly advertised. The packaging depicts the candies with carved-out faces, while the actual products are plain. The lawsuit claims this misrepresentation has tricked consumers and is demanding a trial by jury, with the contention that the damages exceed $5 million and affect more than 100 people. Hershey has declined to comment on the pending litigation.
