Reese’s could be violating laws with a sweepstakes advertised on packs of their famous peanut butter cups, the Associated Press reports.
The promotion reads “You could win $25,000″ then, in smaller print, “See details inside.” Consumers must buy and open a package to see that no purchase is necessary to win.
A consumer advocate and former assistant attorney general in Massachusetts reported the contest, according to the Associated Press. Pennsylvania-based Hershey Co., which owns Reese’s, said its website contains full promotion details and stores selling the candy should have signs explaining it.
