Reese’s Pumpkins Spark Legal Battle
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a holiday favorite, but in October 2023, a Florida woman claimed she was misled by their seasonal packaging.
The Alleged Deception
Cynthia Kelly purchased Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins expecting chocolates shaped like pumpkins with carved faces, as depicted on the packaging. However, she was shocked to find faceless candies that didn’t resemble pumpkins. Feeling deceived, Kelly filed a $5 million lawsuit against Hershey for false advertising.
Legal Claims
Kelly’s lawsuit, filed in federal court, states she wouldn’t have bought the product if she had known it lacked the advertised facial details. She hopes the case will gain class-action status, potentially involving others who feel similarly misled.
Hershey Joins a Growing Trend
Hershey isn’t alone in facing accusations of false advertising. Fast food giants like Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, and Arby’s have all been sued for misrepresenting their products. While some companies have prevailed, like McDonald’s and Wendy’s, others continue to face scrutiny.
Broader Implications
Kelly’s case underscores growing consumer frustration with misleading labels. As the lawsuit unfolds, it could set a precedent for similar claims involving holiday-themed products.
