A recent class action lawsuit alleges that Girl Scout cookies contain harmful heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, and cadmium, beyond regulatory limits, along with glyphosate, a banned herbicide. Based on a December 2024 study testing cookies from various states, all samples contained at least four metals, and lead was found in nearly all cookies. Responding to these claims, the Girl Scouts assert the safety of their products, emphasizing adherence to federal safety standards. The lawsuit demands $5 million in damages and warning labels, highlighting the serious health risks, especially for children, associated with these contaminants.
The lawsuit alleges that Girl Scout cookies contain heavy metals and a toxic herbicide, exceeding recommended regulatory limits, raising serious health concerns.
All cookie samples tested contained at least four out of five heavy metals, with lead detected in all but one cookie, posing major health risks.
Despite the Girl Scouts' claims of safety and adherence to regulation, the lawsuit highlights ethical failures in their sales practices and product safety.
The heavy metals found are particularly dangerous for children, potentially causing brain damage and developmental issues, necessitating immediate consumer awareness.
