Halloween is right around the corner, and rest assured that Hershey’s WON’T be banned from selling its Halloween candies.
Last year, a woman in Florida named Cynthia Kelly sued Hershey’s for $5 MILLION, claiming their pumpkin-shaped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were falsely advertised.
She said the packaging shows the pumpkins have “cool, carved designs” and faces, but in reality, there are no faces. And THAT bothered her.
That’s wasn’t the only thing. She pointed out that several of their Halloween candies are also less “spooky” than they appear on the wrapper.
Well, Cynthia will NOT be getting a $5 million payout, and the candies will not be pulled from store shelves, where they’re DECEIVING AMERICA.
A judge just dismissed the lawsuit. She ruled that the plaintiffs “failed to prove” any “concrete economic injury,” and the products were not “rendered worthless.” In other words, they’re still delicious.
