The lawsuit alleges that three Hershey products contain harmful levels of lead and cadmium.
Chocolate manufacturer Hershey has been sued in the US over claims the firm is selling products containing harmful levels of metal.
Some studies suggest that the antioxidants and relatively low levels of sugar in dark chocolate could help prevent heart disease., which tested 28 dark chocolate bars for lead and cadmium. "For 23 of the bars, eating just an ounce a day would put an adult over a level that public health authorities and CR's experts say may be harmful for at least one of those heavy metals," it claimed.
"Any food can contain heavy metals if they are present in the soil in high concentration," nutritionist Sheeba Majmudar told the BBC.
