This candy fooled her.
A Florida woman is taking on The Hershey Company, claiming it has “misled” customers through “deceptive” packaging on Reese’s seasonal chocolates.
Cynthia Kelly of Tampa is suing the chocolate giant for $5 million because she claims the packaging and actual contents don’t match.
For example, the pumpkin-shaped chocolate does not have eyes or a cut-out nose as the packaging suggests, and the shape of a soccer ball is like an egg, according to the lawsuit, filed in the Middle District Court of Florida.
“The labels on Hershey’s Products are materially misleading and numerous consumers have been misled and misled by the images on the Products’ packaging,” the lawsuit, seen by The Post, says.
“This is a class action lawsuit against Hershey for falsely representing that various Reese’s peanut butter products contain explicitly carved artistic designs when there are no such carvings on the actual products,” the lawsuit says.
