Send this to your friends who buy LINDT dark chocolate like me
cause a class action lawsuit was just pushed forth against them by a judge
alleging numerous violations of consumer laws
including false advertising
safety hazard design defect
and it's because
they found significant levels of lead and cadmium in these products
allegedly have known about this since 2014
here are some of Lindt’s defenses in court so you know how a company thinks
first they said it's not false advertising cause we never said: “THERE’S NO LEAD”
“THERE’S NO CADMIUM” in this product
the judge said it doesn't matter cause you said all of these things
which would imply to a reasonable consumer
that there would be no toxic heavy metals in this product
well in defense of all of this
Lindt said that is just inactionable puffery
meaning these are claims that are so exaggerated
that no reasonable consumer would rely on them to buy a product
to which the court said no
that is not true,
a reasonable consumer would see this
advertising and again
expect a premium product at the very least
an absence of toxic metal
but then Lindt says
nobody's actually proven to be injured directly from eating our chocolate
to which the court said
we don't have to wait to prove
that someone got cancer
from your chocolate
in order to declare it a safety hazard
because the judge said
a reasonable consumer would not have paid a premium for your product
if they knew it had these metals in it
which is why the class action is going forward
asking for payment for anyone who bought this chocolate
you know I’ll keep you updated on any settlement
