What happened
A proposed class action has been filed against The Hershey Company, apparently concerning alleged fraud related to its chocolate products. The court consolidated multiple similar cases, including this one, under the caption In re Hershey Chocolate Litigation, and plaintiffs are to file a consolidated amended complaint. These are allegations in a newly filed case and not proven facts or a settlement.
Do you qualify?
No settlement exists yet, so there is nothing to file and no class definition to check. If the case settles, the settlement will define exactly who qualifies — watch this case and we'll let you know.
How to file
