If you\u2019re wondering which chocolates in particular are the subject of the startling lawsuit, they include <strong>Lily\u2019s Extra Dark Chocolate 70 percent Cocoa<\/strong> and <strong>Lily\u2019s Extreme Dark Chocolate 85 percent Cocoa<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>Related: Dwayne Johnson Redeems Himself At 7-Eleven Where He Used To Steal Chocolate!<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"min-height:120px;width:100%;float:none;\">\n<div id=\"section-63af80342edaa-paragraph-slot\" class=\"lazyload-unit\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This all comes just two weeks after <em>Consumer Reports<\/em> claimed many of Hershey\u2019s dark chocolate products exceed California standards for the maximum allowable dose level (MADL) of the poisonous metals.

They found:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor 23 of the bars, eating just an ounce a day would put an adult over a level that public health authorities and CR\u2019s experts say may be harmful for at least one of those heavy metals.

The danger is greatest for pregnant people and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">young children<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> because the metals can <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cause developmental problems<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, affect brain development, and lead to lower IQ.
