"For American children with a sweet tooth, chile-flavored candies imported from Mexico can be just the thing to satisfy a craving.
But several years ago, many of the treats were found to contain high and undisclosed doses of lead, which can cause learning disabilities, behavioral problems, seizures and even death in young people.
In 2004, the Center for Environmental Health, an Oakland watchdog group, and other groups used a unique California law to sue major manufacturers for producing the toxic candies. The companies, which included subsidiaries of Mars and Hershey's, later agreed to make the sweets safer and pay almost $1 million in penalties and fees.
The basis for the suit was Proposition 65, a 1986 voter-approved law that sets disclosure requirements for products that contain significant levels of chemicals known by the state to cause cancer or reproductive harm."
