Trader Joe's customers in New York filed two separate class-action lawsuits against the company this week, alleging that the grocery store chain failed to warn customers aboutOne lawsuit argues that Trader Joe's should have known there were traces of cadmium and lead in the chocolate.
Trader Joe's allegedly knew that, if it disclosed the heavy metal amounts on its labels, customers probably wouldn't have purchased the chocolate, claims the second from Long Island resident Thomas Ferrante. The Ferrante lawsuit, also filed Wednesday, seeks $550 in damages for every time he or other class members bought Trader Joe's chocolate.
Trader Joe's is being sued for unjust enrichment and for violating New York state general business regulations. The lawsuits center on Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate 72% Cacao and Dark Chocolate Lover's 85% Cacao bars, which were found to contain high levels of lead and cadmium in a Consumer Reports study released in December.Last month, scientists at Consumer Reports tested the heavy metal content of chocolate bars from Hershey's, Trader Joe's and other vendors.
