Woman Sues Hershey for $5M Over Reese's Missing Halloween Decorations

Hershey is facing a class-action lawsuit for allegedly using deceptive packaging on its Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkin chocolates, which show "cute" carvings of Halloween decorations that are not present on the actual candies. The plaintiff, Cynthia Kelly, and other consumers were misled into expecting decorated chocolates, which previous packaging versions accurately depicted as undecorated. The lawsuit claims this misrepresentation was an attempt to boost sales, and it cites similar cases against other companies, some of which have been dismissed or settled. Hershey has not commented on the pending litigation.
