HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - January 4, 2008
The three lawsuits were filed in federal courts last month --
two in Harrisburg and one in Newark, New Jersey. The complaints
cite recent news reports that authorities in Canada and the U.S.
are looking into chocolate industry pricing practices.
James McCarthy, an attorney for one of the plaintiffs, says the
filing of such complaints is not unusual, even though no charges
have been filed.
The lawsuits name Hershey and Mars the leading chocolate U.S.
companies. Company officials aren't commenting.
