Reese’s seasonal pumpkin-shaped chocolates now carry a new packaging disclaimer after the dismissal of a $5 million lawsuit concerning the brand’s seasonal presentation.
The legal case drew attention to how holiday confectionery is shown on the wrapper, where stylised product imagery can shape shoppers’ expectations before they open the pack.
As reported by Delish, the packaging update follows the court’s dismissal of the claim.
The change offers a reminder for shoppers comparing imported seasonal sweets: packaging images and the finished shape of a chocolate may not always align exactly, particularly with novelty products made for holidays.
