Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkin Packaging Class Action

The Hershey Company · Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins and other seasonal Reese's candies

Two Florida consumers brought a proposed class action alleging that Hershey's packaging for Reese's Peanut Butter Pumpkins misleadingly depicted carved facial features that were absent from the actual candy. A federal judge dismissed the amended complaint, finding that the plaintiffs had not shown concrete economic injury; their attorney said they planned to appeal.
