Cleveland Akron, OH, October 7, 2026 — Hershey is implementing a change to the packaging of its Reese’s Pumpkins ahead of the upcoming Halloween season. The confectionery company will add a disclaimer to the wrappers of Reese’s Pumpkins distributed in the Cleveland-Akron (Canton) area.

This decision comes in response to past accusations from customers regarding alleged false advertising related to the product. The specific nature of these past accusations was not detailed, nor was the exact wording of the new disclaimer provided. The company has not specified if this is a temporary or permanent adjustment to its packaging strategy for the popular seasonal candy.

The move by Hershey aims to address consumer concerns that have arisen in previous years. While the exact timeline and details of past complaints are not available, the inclusion of a disclaimer suggests Hershey is taking proactive steps to clarify product information for consumers in the specified region. The Cleveland-Akron (Canton) area has been identified as the initial market for this packaging update.

Reese’s Pumpkins are a highly anticipated item for many during the fall holiday period. The decision to add a disclaimer indicates a potential sensitivity to previous customer feedback and a desire to mitigate further issues related to advertising claims. Further details regarding the disclaimer’s content and the company’s specific response to past accusations were not immediately available.
