A man in Virginia has filed a lawsuit against Godiva Chocolate after realizing that the"Belgian" chocolates he purchased in Washington D.C. were not actually from Belgium — and he is not the first to bring up the issue to court.
In 1926, Godiva Chocolatier was founded in Brussels, Belgium. Their confections are still highly sought around the world, and since those humble beginnings, the company has opened more than 600 stores in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. — Scott MacFarlane July 18, 2019 "The reasonable consumer would interpret this to mean... the contents are made in Belgium," the suit reads."Further, Godiva's social media materials are filled with innuendo that all their products are made in Belgium... This is not a coincidence: Belgium has a reputation as the producer of many of the world's finest chocolates. Consumers pay a premium for chocolates emanating from this country.
"Godiva intentionally plays on the false impression that the Godiva Chocolates are made in Belgium and then imported to the United States, in order to enhance the image of Godiva Chocolates as luxury chocolates," the suit, filed on Jan 31, 2019, states."It does this because Belgian chocolates are widely known to be among the highest quality in the world.
