Reese's may be violating state and federal laws with its sweepstakes offer advertised on packs of peanut butter cups. The promotion states "You could win $25,000," but only after purchasing and opening the package can consumers see the small print stating that no purchase is necessary to enter. Consumer advocate Edgar Dworsky raised concerns about the lack of signs indicating no purchase is necessary in candy displays across multiple states. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) stated it cannot comment on specific companies but enforces laws against "unfair and deceptive acts." Hershey Co., the owner of Reese's, has not responded to requests for comment.
