Lindt is currently facing a class-action lawsuit in the United States, with plaintiffs alleging that the company's dark chocolate bars, specifically the 70% and 85% cocoa varieties, contain significant amounts of lead and cadmium. Investigations into these claims have led to scrutiny of Lindt's marketing assertions regarding the quality of its chocolates, which the company has described as 'expertly crafted' using 'the finest ingredients.' In light of the lawsuit, Lindt has made admissions that challenge the accuracy of these marketing claims, suggesting that the chocolates may not be as expertly crafted as previously advertised. Despite attempts to dismiss the class-action suit, Lindt remains embroiled in legal challenges regarding the presence of heavy metals in its products.
