Chocolate — A Clear and Present Danger?

The American Environmental Safety Institute has filed a lawsuit accusing
chocolate makers of violating California’s Proposition 65 requiring
manufacturers to warn consumers of products containing dangerous chemicals.
The group alleges that chocolate contains "potentially dangerous levels of
lead and cadmium," which can "retard mental development in children younger
than six and … harm the fetuses of pregnant women." California Governor Gray
Davis’ Prop. 65 advisory board, the FDA and other scientists have determined
that chocolate products are safe. Michele Corash, attorney for the chocolate
companies, asserts that this is nothing more than "shameless scare tactics"
by the group. The institute’s lawsuit seeks, in addition to warning labels
on all chocolate products, restitution for consumers and civil penalties as
high as $2,500 per day per violation.
