General Mills is facing class-action lawsuits in Minnesota and California claiming its Cocoa Puffs cereal contains dangerous levels of lead, potentially exceeding California's safe limits. The lawsuits seek over $5 million in damages for consumers misled about the product's safety, linking these allegations to previous concerns over lead in dark chocolate products. The plaintiffs aim to prove General Mills knowingly failed to disclose the potential health risks associated with lead consumption, particularly affecting children.
