Two weeks after Consumer Reports issued a study about potentially risky levels of heavy metals in several brands of dark-chocolate bars, a New York man has filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against the Hershey Company HSY, the prominent candy manufacturer.
Christopher Lazazzaro, the plaintiff in the case, said he would have avoided purchasing certain Hershey products or not paid as much for them if the company had revealed the metal content in them, according to reports. The Hershey products specifically mentioned included Hershey’s Special Dark Mildly Sweet Chocolate, Lily’s Extra Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa and Lily’s Extreme Dark Chocolate 85% Cocoa bars.
Consumer Reports used California’s maximum allowable dose level for lead and cadmium as the basis for its report. Among the Hershey products it pointed to as being potentially problematic are the Hershey’s Special Dark Mildly Sweet Chocolate bar, which had 265% of the maximum allowable dose level of lead, and the Lily’s Extremely Dark Chocolate 85% Cocoa bar, which had 143% of the maximum allowable dose level of lead and 101% of the maximum allowable dose level of cadmium.
