Hershey Faces $5 Million Lawsuit Over Deceptive Candy Packaging

Florida woman alleges holiday-themed Reese’s Peanut Butter candies lack artistic details shown on packaging, contrary to what was advertised.

Cynthia Kelly, a Florida woman, has filed a federal class action lawsuit against Hershey, accusing the company of deceptive advertising on its holiday-themed Reese’s Peanut Butter candies.
The lawsuit alleges that the candies lack the artistic details depicted on the packaging, such as carved faces on pumpkins and laces on footballs.
Kelly claims she would not have purchased the Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins for $4.49 if she knew they did not have the detailed carvings as shown on the product label.
The lawsuit, seeking at least $5 million, covers all consumers who bought the candies in the state of Florida.
Neither Hershey nor Kelly's attorney have responded to requests for comment on the case.
