According to a lawsuit filed in the Middle District Court of Florida on Wednesday, Cynthia Kelly sued the Hershey's Company because its Jack-o-Lantern treats were advertised with mouth and eye drops on the packaging but didn’t have any on the actual chocolates.
“Hershey's labels for the products are materially misleading and many consumers have been deceived and misled by the pictures on the products' packaging,” the lawsuit reads, according to WFTV.
$5,000,000,000 for false advertising.
“Reese's what are you doing,” Kelly's attorney, Delray Beach-based Anthony J. Russo said in the lawsuit. “Look at the picture on the packet. It's like a pumpkin with a face and a little mouth – then you open the packet and you're presented with that monstrosity.”
Seems legit.
