KIND, the popular snack and nutrition bar company, is facing a class action lawsuit alleging it failed to warn consumers about high levels of lead in one of its products.
The lawsuit, filed in California federal court by plaintiff Jade Burnett, claims that independent testing commissioned by Burnett’s lawyer found that KIND Healthy Grains Dark Chocolate Clusters contain approximately 2.34 micrograms of lead per serving. This level is reportedly more than four times the maximum daily limit for reproductive toxicity under California’s Proposition 65, which is set at 0.5 micrograms.
